Default level
2: System level
Parameters
aging seconds: Sets an aging timer for dynamic MAC address entries. The value of the seconds
argument ranges from 10 to 630 seconds.
no-aging: Sets dynamic MAC address entries not to age.
Description
Use the mac-address timer command to configure the aging timer for dynamic MAC address entries.
Use the undo mac-address timer command to restore the default.
Follow these guidelines to set the aging timer appropriately:
• A long aging interval may cause the MAC address table to retain outdated entries and fail to
accommodate the latest network changes.
• A short aging interval may result in removal of valid entries and unnecessary broadcasts that may
affect device performance.
Examples
# Set the aging timer for dynamic MAC address entries to 500 seconds.
