Mac address security
The MAC address-based security feature of the Web-based management system
allows you to specify a range of system responses to unauthorized network access
to your switch. The response can range from sending a trap to disabling the port.
The network access control is based on the MAC source addresses (SAs) of the
authorized stations. You can specify a list of up to 448 MAC source addresses that
are authorized to access the switch. You can also specify the ports that each MAC
source address is allowed to access. The options for port access include: NONE,
ALL, and single or multiple ports that are specified in a list, for example, 1-4. You
must also include the MAC source address of any router or switch connected to
any secure ports.
You can configure the BayStack 380-24F Gigabit Switch to drop all packets
having a specified MAC destination address (DA). You can also create a list of up
to 10 MAC DAs you want to filter.The packet with the specified MAC DA will be
dropped regardless of the ingress port, source address (SA) intrusion, or VLAN
membership.
Configuring MAC address-based security
To configure MAC address-based security using the Web-based management
system:
1 From the main menu, choose Application > MAC Address Security >
Security Configuration.
The Security Configuration page opens ( Figure 52 ).
Note: Ensure that you do not enter the MAC address of the switch or
stack you are working on.
