config fdb aging_time
Purpose | Used to set the aging time of the forwarding database. |
Syntax | config fdb aging_time <sec |
Description | The aging time affects the learning process of the Switch. |
| Dynamic forwarding table entries, which are made up of the |
| source MAC addresses and their associated port numbers, are |
| deleted from the table if they are not accessed within the aging |
| time. The aging time can be from 10 to 1000000 seconds with a |
| default value of 300 seconds. A very long aging time can result in |
| dynamic forwarding table entries that are |
| exist. This may cause incorrect packet forwarding decisions by the |
| Switch. If the aging time is too short however, many entries may |
| be aged out too soon. This will result in a high percentage of |
| received packets whose source addresses cannot be found in the |
| forwarding table, in which case the Switch will broadcast the |
| packet to all ports, negating many of the benefits of having a |
| switch. |
Parameters | <sec |
| forwarding database value. The value in seconds may be between |
| 10 and 1000000 seconds. The default is 300 seconds. |
Restrictions | Only |

Example usage:
To set the fdb aging time:
Command: config fdb aging_time 300
Success.
