Further explanation:
The bound MAC address table contains all the MAC addresses bound by the switch
ports. Every entry contains one MAC address and its corresponding port number.
The bound MAC address table is divided into several pages. At most 10 entries can be
held in one page. The buttons “First”, “Previous” and “Next” can be used to browse
the whole table.

: When a new MAC address is learned by the switch, it will
be added to the dynamic MAC address table and a relative timer will be generated
immediately. If no packet taking the MAC address as its source passes through the
switch in a specified length of time, that MAC address will be removed from the MAC
address table. This process is called "aging", and the specified time length referred
above is called "aging time".
Further explanation:
The aging time ranges from 0 to 3825 seconds. An appropriate aging time should
be configured here. An aging time that is too long lengthens the time of the
dynamic MAC address being deleted and further causes the packets to be forwarded
incorrectly. An aging time that is too short causes the table entries to be deleted
quickly. Some packets have to be broadcasted because no corresponding entries can
be abided by. The efficiency of packet forwarding is reduced.
The MAC addresses in static MAC address table, filtering MAC address table and
bound MAC address table are free of the aging time.
