14 Installing Your Switch
i. The MAC aging timer indicates how many
seconds any duplicate MACs can remain in the
switch’s CAM (Content Addressable Memory) if
there is no traffic from those MACs. After the
specified time has expired, inactive MACs age
out of the CAM. To view the switch’s MAC aging
timer value (default=0), type system dup-mac-
timer
at the CLI prompt and press <Enter>, as
shown in the example below:
-> system dup-mac-timer
0
j. To specify the switch’s MAC aging timer value in
seconds, type system dup-mac-timer followed by a
number of seconds (the valid range is 10
through 1000000 seconds) at the CLI prompt and
press <Enter>. For example, to specify 5000 as
the MAC aging timer value, type the following at
the CLI prompt and press <Enter>:
-> system dup-mac-timer 5000
♦ Important Notes ♦
Do not use commas when specifying a
MAC aging timer value. For example,
the entry 63,000 will result in an error.
If you want to use the Group aging
timer, enter
0 as the value for the MAC
aging timer.
No confirmation message will appear
onscreen. To verify that the switch’s
MAC aging timer has been set, type
system dup-mac-timer at the CLI prompt
and press <Enter>.
13. Assign an IP Address to the Default Group
All switches are configured with a default Group and
VLAN. You can add Groups and VLANs later through
the switch software. To get started, you can use the
default group and default VLAN to configure the IP
address for this switch. (The default IP address is
192.168.10.1.) To modify Group IP routing parameters,
complete the following steps:
a. To assign or modify the default Group and
VLAN
Address, type the following at the CLI prompt
and press <Enter>:
-> group 1 router ip < ip-address >
where 1 is the default group and VLAN, and
< ip-address > is the IP Address for a specific
virtual router port (for example, 168.23.9.100).
b. No confirmation message will appear onscreen.
Only the system prompt (
->) will appear.
See your switch manual to set other parameters.
