To secure addresses for additional ports, click to select the desired port in the
Channel X Port Security window; the Addresses window will automatically
display the Learned and Secure addresses for the new port.
Boards with Multiple Caches
Because of the number of ports they contain, some boards provide two separate
floating address caches: one for each bank of ports. In effect, this circumstance
allows you to configure as many as 64 additional secure addresses, as long as no
more than 32 are configured for each set of ports. For example, the TPR-36S,
which has 26 ports, provides one 32-address cache for ports 1-13 and a second
cache for ports 14-26; the TPX-22S, which has 22 ports, provides one 32-address
cache for ports 1-10, and a second cache for ports 11-22.
In any case, the Security application will keep track of how many caches are
present and how many addresses have been assigned to each, and will disable the
Add
button as appropriate.
NOTE
If the maximum number of addresses has already been assigned to the floating
cache on the selected board, or if you have already secured two addresses on a non-
LANVIEW
SECURE
MIM port, the Add button will be disabled.
You can clear both Learned and Secure addresses (and re-start the learning process) by
using the Reset Learned Addresses option in the repeater-, module-, or port-level Security
window; see
NOTE
Note that

TPXMIMs assigned wholly to Channel A contain no active
cache, as the floating cache feature is not supported for MIMs operating on Channel A.
Similarly, you will not be able to assign more than two secure addresses to any TPXMIM
port while it is configured to operate on Channel A.
