Dynamic Address Configuration

Use the Dynamic Addresses page 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 access the Configuration page, click Switching > Address Table > Advanced > Dynamic
Addresses.
To configure the Dynamic Address setting:
1. Specify the number of seconds the forwarding database should wait before deleting a
learned entry that has not been updated. IEEE 802.1D-1990 recommends a default of
300 seconds. You may enter any number of seconds between 10 and 1000000. The
factory default is 300.
Note: IEEE 802.1D recommends a default of 300 seconds, which is the
factory default.
2. Click Cancel to cancel the configuration on the screen and reset the data on the screen to
the latest value of the switch.
3. Click Apply to apply to send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes
take effect immediately.
