4.11.1 Dynamic Address Table

Use this page to set the Address Ageing Timeout for the MAC Address database, and to display information about entries
in the MAC Address database. These entries are used by the transparent bridging function to determine how to forward a
received frame. The screen in Figure 4-47 appears.
Ageing Timeout Configuration (seconds)
The MAC Address 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. You specify that time by entering a value for the
Address Ageing Timeout. You may enter any number of seconds between 0 and 65535.
IEEE 802.1D recommends a default of 300 seconds, which is the factory default.
