Configuration Pages
This section describes the fields that appear on the
pages in the Configuration category. The first page
displayed is the Ageing Time page.
For an overview of how the switch works, refer to
Ageing Time
This page allows you to change the ageing time.
All addresses that are learnt by the switch are stored
in the switch database. Ageing keeps the switch
database up to date by removing any unused
addresses that have not been made permanent.
For example the default ageing time is 1800 seconds
(30 minutes), so if any non-permanent addresses are
not used within 1800 seconds of being last used, the
addresses are removed.
When the switch database is full, no new addresses
are learnt.
