Follow up from our router guru:
IOS type looks like the following.
csg-gss-sw1(config)#mac-address-table aging-time XXX
So that covers both flavors of the Cisco
switch IOS’s

Leslie, hope this helps… it’s
not the mib variable but will get you closer:
This looks like the command for a CatOs
type switch. It would be different for a IOS type switch.
csg-mildc-sw1>
(enable) set cam ?
agingtime
Set CAM aging time
dynamic
Set dynamic CAM entries
notification
Set MAC address change notification
permanent
Set permanent CAM entries
static
Set static CAM entries
csg-mildc-sw1> (enable) set cam agingtime ?
<vlan>
VLAN number
csg-mildc-sw1>
(enable) set cam agingtime
XXX
A show cam
agingtime shows each vlan at 300
sec. Hopefully there is a way to change it globally instead of per VLAN.

Leslie, I’ve forwarded your question
to our router guru.
The key difference is that ARP cache is a
media layer mechanism for tying an IP address to a MAC address. What you are
asking about is tying a bridge number to a MAC address i.e. this bridge has
knowledge of this MAC address on this segment number. When he gives me an
answer I’ll post it.

Can anyone tell me the proper terminology to use when asking a Cisco guy
to change the age-out time for the forwarding table in the dot1dBridge mib?
They think I am talking about the arp cache, but I am not. For Switch Analyzer
it is recommended to increase the value from the default of 300 seconds to 900
seconds, and I can tell them the mib variable, but I cannot give them the
command in Cisco-ese.
For
clarity, the mib variable is:
iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.dot1dBridge.dot1dTp.dot1dTpAgingTime
.1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.2
Cordially,
