How often does TSA read the dot1dBridge table in the switch ? is it every
15 minutes ?
Where does this recommendation come from and where is it documented ?
Thanks,

Please respond to
nv-l
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
