[c-nsp] mac-address-table aging-time cannot go < 480

[Tassos Chatzithomaoglou]

ok, i believe i found out that it's due to the mac-sync feature of the 6708 module which uses an interval of 160".

6500#sh mac address-table synchronize statistics

MAC Entry Out-of-band Synchronization Feature Statistics:
---------------------------------------------------------

     Module [4]
     -----------

     Module Status:
Statistics collected from module                    :  4
Number of L2 asics in this module                   :  1

     Global Status:
Status of feature enabled on the switch             :  on
Default activity time                               :  160
Configured current activity time                    :  160


Nevertheless, it would be good to get a warning message on this case.
