Configuration Tasks 16- and 36-Port Ethernet Switch Module for Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 3600 Series, and Cisco 3700 Series Changing the Address Aging Time Dynamic addresses are source MAC addresses that the switch learns and then drops when they are not in use. Use the Aging Time field to define how long the switch retains unseen addresses in the table. This parameter applies to all VLANs. Configuring the Aging Time Setting too short an aging time can cause addresses to be prematurely removed from the table. Then when the switch receives a packet for an unknown destination, it floods the packet to all ports in the same VLAN as the receiving port. This unnecessary flooding can impact performance. Setting too long an aging time can cause the address table to be filled with unused addresses; it can cause delays in establishing connectivity when a workstation is moved to a new port. To configure the dynamic address table aging time, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Command Router(config)# configure terminal Router(config)# mac-address-table aging-time seconds Router(config)# end Verifying Aging-Time Configuration Purpose Enters global configuration mode. Enters the number of seconds that dynamic addresses are to be retained in the address table. Valid entries are from 10 to 1000000. Returns to privileged EXEC mode. Step 1 Use the show mac-address-table aging-time command to verify configuration: Router# show mac-address-table aging-time Removing Dynamic Addresses To remove a dynamic address entry, follow these steps beginning in privileged EXEC mode: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Command Router# configure terminal Router(config)# no mac-address-table dynamic hw-addr Router(config)# end Purpose Enters global configuration mode. Enters the MAC address to be removed from dynamic MAC address table. Returns to privileged EXEC mode. You can remove all dynamic entries by using the clear mac-address-table dynamic command in privileged EXEC mode. 116 Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XT, 12.2(8)T, and 12.2(15)ZJ

Changing the Address Aging Time

Dynamic addresses are source MAC addresses that the switch learns and then drops when they are not

in use. Use the Aging Time field to define how long the switch retains unseen addresses in the table. This

parameter applies to all VLANs.

Configuring the Aging Time

Setting too short an aging time can cause addresses to be prematurely removed from the table. Then

when the switch receives a packet for an unknown destination, it floods the packet to all ports in the same

VLAN as the receiving port. This unnecessary flooding can impact performance. Setting too long an

aging time can cause the address table to be filled with unused addresses; it can cause delays in

establishing connectivity when a workstation is moved to a new port.

To configure the dynamic address table aging time, use the following commands beginning in global

configuration mode:

Verifying Aging-Time Configuration

Step 1

Use the

show mac-address-table aging-time

command to verify configuration:

Router#

show mac-address-table aging-time

Removing Dynamic Addresses

To remove a dynamic address entry, follow these steps beginning in privileged EXEC mode:

You can remove all dynamic entries by using the

clear mac-address-table dynamic

command in

privileged EXEC mode.

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Router(config)#

configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

Router(config)#

mac-address-table

aging-time

seconds

Enters the number of seconds that dynamic addresses are to be

retained in the address table. Valid entries are from 10 to 1000000.

Step 3

Router(config)#

end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Router#

configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2

Router(config)#

no mac-address-table

dynamic

hw-addr

Enters the MAC address to be removed from dynamic MAC address

table.

Step 3

Router(config)#

end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
