To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task
IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator

In general, the type is set to inactivity. With an inactivity type configuration, a MAC address is removed from
the forwarding table after the MAC address is inactive for the configured aging time.
With an absolute type configuration, a MAC address is always removed from the forwarding table after the
aging time has elapsed once it is initially learned.
