7.6 Aging Control
Aging control is for the aging of address entries in the switch’s forwarding table. If the aging
control is enabled, a learned address entry (not include the static entry) will be removed from the
forwarding table if there is no update within a pre-determined period (1 ~ 128 seconds). It is
useful because the resource of the forwarding table is limited. Enabling the aging control will not
influence packets forwarding, for that the packet is forwarded to all other ports when the
destination MAC address cannot be found in the forwarding table. If the aging control is disabled,
all address entries will not be removed.
Figure 7.6-1 Address Entries for Aging Control

2. Enter the Maximum Age of the Address Entries. If the aging control is enabled, enter an
integer from the range of 1 to 128 as the maximum age of address entries. If the aging control
is disabled, this step can be skipped.
