The aging time default is five minutes, as set by the IEEE802.1d standard. However, you can change the aging parameter with theMIB variable dot1dTpAgingTime.The SmartSTACK Ethernet ELS10-27 continually compares the actual ageof each dynamic address against the age specified by thedot1dTpAgingTime parameter, and deletes any addresses that are olderthan the age specified (or older than five minutes if you are using thedefault). Typically, there is no need to set the aging time to a very smallnumber because the SmartSTACK Ethernet ELS10-27 Bridge AddressTable supports 979 addresses.
