6. Select the desired security level.

❑ To disable security on the port, type N to select Normal mode. This

is the default security setting. A port operating in Normal mode
does not have any restrictions on the number of MAC addresses it
can learn. The port continues to learn addresses until it reaches
the 254 address maximum of MAC address table.

❑ To specify a maximum number of dynamic MAC addresses each

port can learn, type L to select Limited mode. To specify the limits,
refer to the next procedure.

❑ To stop the port from learning new dynamic MAC addresses and

have it forward frames based only on static MAC addresses and on
those dynamic addresses that it has already learned, type S to
select Secure mode.

Note

Only one security level can be active on a port at a time.

A change to the security level is immediately activated on the port
and the new setting is displayed in the Port Security Configuration
Menu.
