Understanding MAC Addresses and VLANs
All addresses are associated with a VLAN. An address can exist in more than one VLAN and have
different destinations in each. Multicast addresses, for example, could be forwarded to port 1 in VLAN
1 and ports 9, 10, and 11 in VLAN 5.
Each VLAN maintains its own logical address table. A known address in one VLAN is unknown in
another until it is learned or statically associated with a port in the other VLAN. An address can be secure
in one VLAN and dynamic in another. Addresses that are statically entered in one VLAN must be static
addresses in all other VLANs.
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. 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.
The aging timer may be configured from 10 to 630 seconds, in 10-second intervals.
Beginning in global configuration mode, follow these steps to configure the dynamic address table aging
time.
