Dynamic Address Settings

The Dynamic Address Table (bridging table) contains the MAC addresses acquired by monitoring the source addresses of frames entering the device. To prevent this table from overflowing and to make room for new MAC addresses, an address is deleted if no corresponding traffic is received for a certain period of time known as the aging time.

To configure the aging time for dynamic addresses, follow these steps:

Procedure


Step 1

Click MAC Address Tables > Dynamic Address Settings.

Step 2

Enter Aging Time. The aging time is a value between the user-configured value and twice that value minus 1. For example, if you entered 300 seconds, the aging time is between 300 and 599 seconds.

Step 3

Click Apply. The aging time is updated.
