Configuring and managing ports and VLANs 137
Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide

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 aging tim e [vlan vlan-id]
For example, to display the aging timeout period for all configured VLANs, type the following command:
WSS# 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-id age seconds
For example, to set the aging timeout period for VLAN 2 to 600 seconds, type the following command:
WSS# 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:
WSS# set port 1 name wss_mgmt
success: change accepted.
WSS# set port 2 name finance
success: change accepted.
WSS# set port 3 name accounting
success: change accepted.
WSS# set port 4 name shipping
success: change accepted.
