Reconfigure the Age Interval for Learned MAC Addresses. This com- mand corresponds to the MAC Age Interval in the menu interface, and is expressed in seconds.

Syntax: mac-age-time<10 . . 1000000> (seconds)

For example, to configure the age interval to seven minutes:

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# mac-age-time 420

Configure the Time Zone and Daylight Time Rule. These commands:

■Set the time zone you want to use

■Define the daylight time rule for keeping the correct time when daylight- saving-time shifts occur.

Syntax: time timezone <1440 . . -1440>

time daylight-time-rule <none alaska continental-us-and-canada middle-europe-and-portugal southern-hemisphere western-europe user-defined>

For example, this command configures the time zone and daylight time rule for Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada (time zone 8 = 480 minutes):

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# time timezone 480 day- light-time-rule

continental-us-and-canada
