Description

Continuous

The device learns the address of the device attached to the port and
makes it the authorized MAC address. If a different device is later
attached to the port, the new address is learned and becomes the
authorized address.

First Heard

The device learns the address of the device attached to the port and
makes it the authorized MAC address. If a different device is later
attached to the port, the new address is registered as an “intruder
address”; a security violation has occurred and the port is
automatically disabled.

Assigned

Enter the address of the device that is authorized to be attached to the
port. If a different device is attached to the port, the new address is
registered as an “intruder address”; a security violation has occurred
and the port is disabled.
