Dynamic Address Configuration

Use the Dynamic Addresses screen to set the amount of time to keep a learned MAC
address entry in the forwarding database. The forwarding database contains static entries,
which are never aged out, and dynamically learned entries, which are removed if they are not
updated within a given time.

To configure the dynamic address aging time-out value:
1. Select Switching > Address Table > Advanced > Dynamic Addresses.
2. In the Address Aging Timeout field, specify the number of seconds the forwarding database
should wait before deleting a learned entry that has not been updated.
Note: IEEE 802.1D recommends a default of 300 seconds, which is the
factory default value.
3. Click the Apply button.
