Configuring the AGE and Super Age Timers

Web Agent Procedure

You can configure the Age Timer and Super Age Timer by using either the Web Agent or the CLI.

Enter a value in the Age Time field. Aged out addresses become invalid until the switch sees another packet with the aged out entry's source address.The standards-recommended default is 300 seconds.

Note: If you have ATM Uplink Modules in the chassis and you set the Age Timer value to less than 30 seconds, you must change the Flush MAC Timer on each ATM Uplink module to be less than or equal to the new Age Timer value.

Enter a new value in the Super Age Time field. The valid entries are 1-30 days. The Super Age Timer marks all invalid table entries, then checks to see if they remain invalid for the specified super age interval. This clears the table of entries that are no longer used. The default value is 7 days.

Click APPLY to save your changes, or CANCEL to restore previous settings.
