Address Aging

You can set the per-port aging value using the Address Aging menu. The following describes the types of address aging.

There are two types of aging:

•Port aging

—Any address in a port's address table that has not been active for a port's configured aging time will be removed from the port’s table

—Set at the Port Address Table Aging menu

•System aging

—Addresses that are local to a port but did not fit in its address table will be removed from the master and all port address tables after the system aging time

—Set at the Master Address Table Aging menu

There are two levels to set for the port and master aging tables:

Time Interval Aging is a time limit, in minutes, which will drop older addresses after the selected time.

Automatic On-Demand Aging stores addresses until reaching maximum capacity of the table, then deletes addresses, (in the following specific order) down to a selected percentage level and continues to cycle in the same manner.
