4.7.5 Port Security
Work security screen (see figure 4-32) can be increased by limiting access on a specific port only to users with specific MAC
addresses. MAC addresses can be dynamically learned or statically configured. Locked port security monitors both received
and learned packets that are received on specific ports. Access to the locked port is limited to users with specific MAC
addresses. These addresses are either manually defined on the port, or learned on that port up to the point when it is locked.
When a packet is received on a locked port, and the packet source MAC address is not tied to that port (either it was learned on
a different port, or it is unknown to the system), the protection mechanism is invoked, and can provide various options.
