Managing the MAC Address Table
To return to the default value, use the no mac address-table aging-time global configuration command. 
Removing Dynamic Address Entries
To remove all dynamic entries, use the clear mac address-table dynamic command in privileged EXEC 
mode. You can also remove a specific MAC address (clear mac address-table dynamic address 
mac-address), remove all addresses on the specified physical port or port channel (clear mac 
address-table dynamic interface interface-id), or remove all addresses on a specified VLAN (clear 
mac address-table dynamic vlan vlan-id).
To verify that dynamic entries have been removed, use the show mac address-table dynamic privileged 
EXEC command.
Configuring MAC Address Notification Traps
MAC address notification enables you to track users on a network by storing the MAC address activity 
on the switch. Whenever the switch learns or removes a MAC address, an SNMP notification can be 
generated and sent to the NMS. If you have many users coming and going from the network, you can set 
a trap interval time to bundle the notification traps and reduce network traffic. The MAC notification 
history table stores the MAC address activity for each hardware port for which the trap is enabled. MAC 
address notifications are generated for dynamic and secure MAC addresses; events are not generated for 
self addresses, multicast addresses, or other static addresses.
