Usage Guidelines

Aging for a permitted or non-blocked MAC address occurs in two phases, known as MAC aging interval configured using the mac-age-time command and software aging. After normal MAC aging period for permitted clients (or clients in restricted VLAN), the software aging period begins. After the software aging period ends, the client session ages out and can be authenticated again if the device receives traffic from the MAC address.

Software aging is not applicable for blocked MAC addresses.

The no form of this command disables maximum software age.

Examples

The following example configures the maximum software age to 170 seconds. 

device(config)# authentication
device(config-authen)# max-sw-age 170
