Port Security

This chapter shows you how to set up port security.

16.1 About Port Security

Port security allows only packets with dynamically learned MAC addresses and/or configured static MAC
addresses to pass through a port on the switch.

For maximum port security, enable this feature, disable MAC address learning and configure static MAC
address(es) for a port. It is not recommended you disable Port Security together with MAC address learning as
this will result in many broadcasts.

16.2 Port Security Setup

Click Advanced Application, Port Security in the navigation panel to display the screen as shown.
