I'm not entirely sure, but using mysqldump on the primary instance might not be the best choice for 24/7 availability.

I'm feeling a little lost on this one. The wording of the question is throwing me off, and I'm not entirely sure how to approach solving it. I'll need to re-read the details carefully and try to break it down.

Okay, let's see. If "disable-aging" is executed, that means the MAC addresses won't be removed from the FDB over time, right? So option C seems like the most likely answer - aging will be disabled for both local and remote MAC addresses in the VPLS.
