Dynamic Address Configuration

Use the Dynamic Addresses screen 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 configure the dynamic address setting:

1.Select Switching > Address Table > Advanced > Dynamic Addresses.

2.In the Address Aging Timeout field, 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. Enter any number of seconds between 10 and 1000000. The factory default is 300.
