The aging time determines how long dynamic entries remain in the cache. If
the timeout is too short, the switch may tie up resources by repeating ARP
requests for addresses recently flushed from the table.
When a ARP entry expires, it is deleted from the cache and an ARP request
packet is sent to re-establish the MAC address.
