Port Security Commands
The Port Security feature is based on assigning and limiting MAC
addresses learned by a port. You can use the MAC-Address-based Port
Security feature to enhance the security of your network by controlling
which end nodes can forward frames through the switch, thereby
preventing unauthorized individuals from accessing your network. This
features uses a MAC address to determine whether the switch should
forward a frame or discard it. The source address is the MAC address of
the end node that sent the frame.
All of the port security commands are available in the Interface
Configuration mode.
