Abstract

See full text

A network switch configured for switching data packets across multiple ports uses an address table to generate frame forwarding information. The address table includes aging information used by an internal decision making engine so that aged entries are invalidated after a programmable period of time. The network switch includes a test mode so that the aging function is able to be quickly tested by an external test device.
