CAM Table Aging Time

[rhamdaoui1]

Hi

Im having an isssue understanding the aging time of the CAM Table:

if we have an aging time of 5min : that means the mac entry will be deleted if we dont have traffic for that mac address for a period of 5min ???

Thanks in advance for your help.

You are right. MAC address has will be flushed after 300 secs.
