Switch Age Time
When a switch receives a message, the originating MAC address and the originating port is saved in the
switch’s MAC address table. The switch uses the message’s destination MAC address and previous entries in
the MAC address table to select a specific port to use to transmit the message to its destination. Entries remain
in the MAC address table based on the “switch age time”. When the age time expires, the port-MAC address
entry is removed from the switch’s MAC address table.
