config multicast_fdb
<portlist> − Specifies a range of ports to be configured.
Restrictions
Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To add multicast MAC forwarding:
DES-3550:4#config multicast_fdb default 01-00-00-00-00-01 add
1-5
Command: config multicast_fdb default 01-00-00-00-00-01 add 1-
1-5
Success.
DES-3550:4#
config fdb aging_time
Purpose Used to set the aging time of the forwarding database.
Syntax
config fdb aging_time <sec 10-1000000>
Description The aging time affects the learning process of the switch. Dynamic
forwarding table entries, which are made up of the source MAC
addresses and their associated port numbers, are deleted from the
table if they are not accessed within the aging time. The aging time
can be from 10 to 1000000 seconds with a default value of 300
seconds. A very long aging time can result in dynamic forwarding
table entries that are out-of-date or no longer exist. This may cause
incorrect packet forwarding decisions by the switch. If the aging time
is too short however, many entries may be aged out too soon. This
will result in a high percentage of received packets whose source
addresses cannot be found in the forwarding table, in which case the
switch will broadcast the packet to all ports, negating many of the
benefits of having a switch.
Parameters
<sec> − The aging time for the MAC address forwarding database
value. The value in seconds may be between 10 and 1000000
seconds.
Restrictions
Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To set the fdb aging time:
DES-3550:4#config fdb aging_time 300
Command: config fdb aging_time 300
Success.
