Parameters
aging seconds: Sets an aging timer for dynamic MAC address entries, in the range of 10 to 1000000
seconds.
no-aging: Sets dynamic MAC address entries not to age.
Usage guidelines
Follow these guidelines to set the aging timer appropriately:
• A long aging interval causes the MAC address table to retain outdated entries and fail to
accommodate the most recent network changes.
• A short aging interval results in removal of valid entries and unnecessary broadcasts that affect
device performance.
Examples
# Set the aging timer for dynamic MAC address entries to 500 seconds.
