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.
