[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH 4/5] AR8216: make ARL age time configurable

Heiner Kallweit hkallweit1 at gmail.com
Sat Jul 25 16:40:43 EDT 2015


The default TTL for address resolution table entries is 5 minutes
for all members of the AR8216 family. This can cause issues if
e.g. Wifi clients roam to another AP and their MAC appears on
another switch port suddenly. Then the client may not be reachable
until the old ARL entry expires.
I would have expected the switch to invalidate old entries if it
detects the same MAC on another port. But that's not the case.

Therefore make the TTL for ARL entries configurable.
The effective TTL will always be a multiple of 7 seconds.
