Hi Guys!
Hope you are doing great.
I want to know the best practice for configuring mac address aging time when you have laptops and Cisco IP Phones connected to the Switch-ports.
Thanks.

Other one not related to topic of MAC address aging.
We need more information related to flapping port, and confifuration and explain more about environment.
what is the the device connected to this ports : flapping between port Gi0/1 and port Fa0/17
Humble suggestion do not mix two topic in to one thread hard to follow and reply sometimes. if this is new open new thread so memeber happy to address your issue, subject is different and thread is going in different direction.

Hello Hamidsattarrana,
Usually you need change aging time in Core, especially if you are using HSRP, VRRP or other protocol os redundancy.
No need changes aging time in borders switches.
MAC flapping not necessarily an error, in a wireless environment, for example when client change of AP (roaming) MAC flapping occurs because now it is in other port.
Please, share your real problem?
For view what MAC do you have a problem, consult Wireshark

If the MAC is a Samsung, Motorola, or other in Wireless, I think do you don't have a problem.
Please rate and mark posts accordingly if you have found any of the information provided useful.
