Configuring Port Security

Port security is a feature that allows you to configure a switch port with
one or more device MAC addresses that are authorized to access the
network through that port.

When port security is enabled on a port, the switch stops learning new
MAC addresses on the specified port. Only incoming traffic with source
addresses already stored in the dynamic or static address table will be
accepted as authorized to access the network through that port. If a device
with an unauthorized MAC address attempts to use the switch port, the
intrusion will be detected and the switch can automatically take action by
disabling the port and sending a trap message.

To use port security, first allow the switch to dynamically learn the MAC address, VLAN> pair for frames received on a port for an initial
training period, and then enable port security to stop address learning. Be
sure you enable the learning function long enough to ensure that all valid
VLAN members have been registered on the selected port. Note that you
can also restrict the maximum number of addresses that can be learned by
a port.
