Configure A Static Mac Address; Display The Mac Address Table - Dell Force10 MXL Blade Configuration Manual

To set the aging time for dynamic entries, use the following commands:
Task
Disable MAC address aging for all dynamic
entries.
Specify an aging time.
FTOS Behavior: The time elapsed before the configured MAC aging time expires is not precisely as
configured. For example, the VLAN configuration
dynamic entries from the CAM after precisely 1 second. The actual minimum aging time for entries is
approximately 5 seconds because this is the default MAC address table scanning interval. Therefore,
MAC aging configurations of less than 5 seconds, as in this example, might be ineffective. Configuring
mac-address-table station-move time-interval 500
the minimum (500 milliseconds), increases the detection speed, which results in FTOS clearing entries
closer to the actual desired aging time.

Configure a Static MAC Address

A static entry is one that is not subject to aging. Static entries must be entered manually. To configure a
static MAC address, use the following command:
Task
Create a static MAC address entry in the MAC address table.

Display the MAC Address Table

To display the contents of the MAC address table, use the following command:
Task
