the corresponding port statically.
Tips:
Setting aging time properly helps implement effective MAC address aging. The aging time that is
too long or too short results in a decrease the performance of the switch. If the aging time is too
long, excessive invalid MAC address entries maintained by the switch may fill up the MAC address
table. This prevents the MAC address table from updating with network changes in time. If the
aging time is too short, the switch may remove valid MAC address entries. This decreases the
forwarding performance of the switch. It is recommended to keep the default value.
5.4.4 Filtering Address
The filtering address is to forbid the undesired packets to be forwarded. The filtering address can
be added or removed manually, independent of the aging time. The filtering MAC address allows
the switch to filter the packets which includes this MAC address as the source address or
destination address, so as to guarantee the network security. The filtering MAC address entries
act on all the ports in the corresponding VLAN.
