Port Status - Siemens SCALANCE X204RNA Operating Instructions Manual

Aging Enabled
A SCALANCE X-200RNA automatically learns the source addresses of the nodes connected
to it. This information is used in the SCALANCE X-200RNA to forward data frames to the
nodes specifically involved. This reduces the network load for the other nodes.
If a SCALANCE X-200RNA does not receive a frame whose source address matches a
learnt address within a certain time, it deletes the learnt address. This mechanism is known
as aging. Aging prevents frames being forwarded incorrectly, for example when an end
device (for example a programming device) is connected to a different switch port.
If the check box is not enabled, a SCALANCE X-200RNA does not delete learnt addresses
automatically.
Aging Time [sec]
Here, you enter the time after which the SCALANCE X-200RNA deletes an address if it has
not received frames with the corresponding sender address.
Here, the aging time can be set as required within the range from 1 to 655 seconds.
