discarded.
(Range: 2-172800 seconds; Default: 300 seconds)
Web – Click Address Table, Add ress Aging. Specify the new aging

Spanning Tree Algorithm Configuration
The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) can be used to detect and
disable network loops, and to provide backup links between
switches, bridges or routers. This allows the switch to interact with
other bridging devices (that is, an STA-compliant switch, bridge or
router) in your network to ensure that only one route exists
between any two stations on the network, and provide backup
links which automatically take over when a primary link goes
down.
STA uses a distributed algorithm to select a bridging device
(STA-compliant switch, bridge or router) that serves as the root of
the spanning tree network. It selects a root port on each bridging
