SET SWITCH SECURITYMODE

Syntax

set switch
securitymode=automatic|limited|secure|locked

Parameter

securitymode

Specifies the switch’s security mode. Options are:

automatic

Disables port security on the switch. A

switch operating in Automatic mode
does not restrict the number of MAC
addresses learned by the ports. The
switch continues to learn addresses so
long as there is available space in the
MAC address table. This is the default
setting.

limited

Sets the switch to the Limited security

mode. This mode allows you to specify
a maximum number of MAC addresses
each port can learn. To specify a port
limit, use the SET SWITCH THRESHOLD
command.

secure

Sets the switch to the Secure security

mode. In this mode the switch forwards
frames based only on static MAC
addresses. After activating this security
mode, you must enter the static MAC
addresses of the nodes with frames the
switch is to forward. To add static MAC
addresses, use the ADD SWITCH FDB
command.

locked

Sets the switch to the Local All Ports

security mode. This mode causes the
switch to stop learning new dynamic
MAC addresses. The switch forwards
frames based only on static MAC
addresses and on those dynamic
addresses it has already learned.
