Tips: Setting aging time properly helps implement effective MAC address aging. The aging time that is too long or too short results in a decrease of the switch performance. If the aging time is too long, excessive invalid MAC address entries maintained by the switch may fill up the MAC address table. This prevents the MAC address table from updating with network changes in time. If the aging time is too short, the switch may remove valid MAC address entries. This decreases the forwarding performance of the switch. It is recommended to keep the default value. 6.4.4 Filtering Address The filtering address is to forbid the undesired packets to be forwarded. The filtering address can be added or removed manually, independent of the aging time. The filtering MAC address allows the switch to filter the packets which includes this MAC address as the source address or destination address, so as to guarantee the network security. The filtering MAC address entries act on all the ports in the corresponding VLAN. Choose the menu Switching→MAC Address→Filtering Address to load the following page. Figure 6-17 Filtering Address The following entries are displayed on this screen:  Create Filtering Address MAC Address: Enter the MAC Address to be filtered. VLAN ID: Enter the corresponding VLAN ID of the MAC address.  Search Option Search Option: Select a Search Option from the pull-down list and click the Search button to find your desired entry in the Filtering Address Table.  MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of your desired entry.  VLAN ID: Enter the VLAN ID number of your desired entry.  Filtering Address Table Select: MAC Address: Select the entry to delete the corresponding filtering address.
