Traffic control
The Switch can learn up to 8000 addresses. This becomes necessary if more
than one terminal device is connected to one or more ports. It is thus possible
to connect several independent subnetworks to the Switch.
8.1.3 Aging of learned addresses
The Switch monitors the age of the learned addresses. Address entries
which exceed a certain age (30 seconds, aging time) are deleted by the
Switch from its address table.
The Switch floods data packets with an unknown target address.
The Switch transmits data pakets with known target addresses to specific
destinations.
Note: A reboot deletes the learned address entries.
V Select the Switching:Global dialog.
V Enter the Aging Time for all dynamic entries in the range from 10 to
630 seconds (Unit: 1 second, default setting: 30).
In connection with the router redundancy (see MACH 3000), set the
time greater/equal than 30 seconds.
