Section VI: Port Security

457

Intrusion action defines what a port will do when it receives an invalid
frame. For a port operating under either the Secured or Locked security
mode, the intrusion action is always the same. The port discards invalid
frames.

But with the Limited security mode you can specify an intrusion action.
The options are:

❑ Discard the invalid frame.

❑ Discard the invalid frame and send an SNMP trap. (SNMP must be

enabled on the switch for the trap to be sent.)

❑ Discard the invalid frame, send an SNMP trap, and disable the

port.

Guidelines

Here are a few general guidelines to keep in mind when using this type
of port security:

❑ The filtering of a packet occurs on the ingress port, not on the

egress port.

❑ MAC address security can be set from a local or Telnet

management session, but not from a web browser management
session.

❑ You cannot use MAC address security and 802.1x port-based

access control on a port at the same time.
