I see no age out interrupts, even though the ports Age Out Int is on (PAV bit 14) on the locked port, and the ATU entries do age out (HoldAt1 is off). Any idea why that can be? I combination with this I think it would be nice to have an ability to set the AgeOut time even though it is not per port but global.
