There are two types of aging:
•
Port aging
— Any address in a port's address table that has not been active for a port's
configured aging time will be removed from the port’s table
— Set at the

table, will be removed from the master address table after the system aging
time

There are two levels to set for the port and master aging tables:

the table, then deletes addresses, (in the following specific order) down to a selected
percentage level and continues to cycle in the same manner.
