Parameters
aging seconds: Sets an aging timer (in seconds) for dynamic MAC address entries. The value is in the
range of 10 to 1000000 seconds.
no-aging: Sets dynamic MAC address entries not to age.
Description
Use mac-address timer to configure the aging timer for dynamic MAC address entries.
Use undo mac-address timer to restore the default.
By default, the aging timer is 300 seconds.
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A long aging interval may cause the MAC address table to retain outdated entries and fail to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 the performance of the switch.
Examples
# Set the aging timer for dynamic MAC address entries to 500 seconds.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] mac-address timer aging 500
