CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Changing the Aging Time

You can change the aging time for entries in the dynamic address table.

Command Attributes

Aging Status – Enables or disables the aging time.

Aging Time – The time after which a learned entry is discarded. (Range: 10-1000000 seconds; Default: 300 seconds)

Web – Click Address Table, Address Aging. Specify the new aging time, click Apply.

Figure 3-68 Setting the Aging Time

CLI – This example sets the aging time to 300 seconds.

Console(config)#mac-address-table aging-time 300

Console(config)#

 

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.
