Parameters
aging seconds: Sets an aging timer (in seconds) for dynamic MAC address entries, in the range of 10 to
630. The default value is 300.
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• A long aging interval might cause the MAC address table to retain outdated entries and fail to
accommodate the most recent network changes.
• A short aging interval might result in removal of valid entries and unnecessary broadcasts that
might affect the performance of the device.
Examples
# Set the aging timer for dynamic MAC address entries to 500 seconds.
