3.14 Aging Control

Aging Control is for the aging of address entries in the switch’s forwarding table. If the aging control is enabled, a learned address entry (not included the static entry) will be removed from the forwarding table if there is no update within a pre-determined period (1 ~ 128 x 5 seconds). It is useful because the resource of the forwarding table is limited. Enabling the aging control will not influence packets forwarding, for that the packet is forwarded to all other ports when the destination MAC address cannot to found in the forwarding table. If the aging control is disabled, all address entries will not be removes.
