Abstract
In a method for configuring a MAC address aging time, a first device generates a first Ethernet virtual private network EVPN protocol packet. The first EVPN protocol packet includes aging time information indicating a media access control (MAC) address aging time for an EVPN. The first device sends the first EVPN protocol packet to a second device. The second device configures the MAC address aging time based on the first EVPN protocol packet.
