Nortel Networks 2300 Port and Vlan Configuration Scenario, Configuring the Aging Timeout Period

102Configuring and Managing Ports and VLANs

Configuring the Aging Timeout Period

The aging timeout period specifies how long a dynamic entry can remain unused before the software removes the entry from the database.

You can change the aging timeout period on an individual VLAN basis. You can change the timeout period to a value from 0 through 1,000,000 seconds. The default aging timeout period is 300 seconds (5 minutes). If you change the timeout period to 0, aging is disabled.

Displaying the Aging Timeout Period

To display the current setting of the aging timeout period, use the following command:

show fdb agingtime [vlan vlan-id]

For example, to display the aging timeout period for all configured VLANs, type the following command:

23x0#	show fdb agingtime
VLAN	2	aging	time	= 300	sec
VLAN	1	aging	time	= 300	sec

Changing the Aging Timeout Period

To change the aging timeout period, use the following command:

set fdb agingtime vlan-idage seconds

For example, to set the aging timeout period for VLAN 2 to 600 seconds, type the following command:

23x0# set fdb agingtime 2 age 600

success: change accepted.

Port and VLAN Configuration Scenario

This scenario assigns names to ports, and configures AP access ports, wired authentication ports, a load-sharing port group, and VLANs.

1Assign names to ports to identify their functions, and verify the configuration change. Type the following commands:

23x0# set port 1 name WSS_mgmt success: change accepted.

23x0# set port 2 name finance success: change accepted.

23x0# set port 3 name accounting success: change accepted.

23x0# set port 4 name shipping success: change accepted.

23x0# set port 5 name lobby
