Port Security Configuration
Use the Port Security Configuration screen to enable and configure
port security for the switch. Port Security allows you to configure
each port with a list of MAC addresses of devices that are
authorized to access the network through that port.
Parameter Description
Port Number The port number on the unit.
Status Port security can be set to three states; Enabled,
Disabled, or Learning. When set to Enabled, the
switch will drop packets from the port if the source
MAC address does not match one of the addresses in
the MAC Address list. If set to Learning, the switch
will add the source MAC address of all packets
received on the port to the authorized MAC Address
list.
MAC Address List A list of the current authorized MAC addresses that
can access the network through the specified port.
MAC Address A specific MAC address to be added or deleted from
the list. A MAC address must be entered as 12
hexadecimal digits in the format “000000-000000” or
“000000000000” to be correctly accepted by the
system.
Add Adds a new MAC address to the current list.
Remove Removes a MAC address from the current list.
Clear All Clears all the MAC addresses for the current port.
