+ The maximum number of seconds to retain a MAC learning entry for

+ A short MAC aging time allows a network to more quickly detect that a
+ host is no longer connected to a switch port. However, it also makes
+ it more likely that packets will be flooded unnecessarily, when they
+ are addressed to a connected host that rarely transmits packets. To
+ reduce the incidence of unnecessary flooding, use a MAC aging time
+ longer than the maximum interval at which a host will ordinarily
+ transmit packets.
