global-mac-ip-table-aging-time

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure the timeout interval systemwide for entries in the MAC-IP address bindings database.

Note:

On Junos OS Evolved QFX Series leaf devices in scaled EVPN-VXLAN networks with an edge-routed bridging (ERB) overlay, to avoid traffic loss, make sure that:

  • The MAC table aging time value is at least 10 minutes greater than the ARP aging timer.

  • The MAC-IP table aging time value is the same as the ARP aging timer.

The default ARP aging timer value is 20 minutes, which you can change using the aging-timer option (value is in minutes) at the [edit system arp] hierarchy level.

The default value of this MAC-IP table aging time is the same as the default ARP aging timer (1200 seconds=20 minutes). So if you change the ARP aging timer from its default value, you should likewise change this global-mac-ip-table-aging-time option to match.

The default MAC table aging time is 300 seconds=5 minutes. Change the MAC table aging time using the global-mac-table-aging-time option (value is in seconds) at the [edit protocols l2-learning] hierarchy level.

Options

seconds

Specify the time that is elapsed before entries in the MAC-IP bindings database are timed out and deleted.
