Port Security Status
This page shows the Port Security status. Port Security is a module with no direct configuration. Configuration comes indirectly from
the user modules. When a user module has enabled port security on a port, the port is set-up for software-based learning. In this
mode, frames from unknown MAC addresses are passed on to the port security module, which in turn asks all user modules
whether to allow this new MAC address to forward or block it. For a MAC address to be set in the forwarding state, all enabled user
modules must unanimously agree on allowing the MAC address to forward. If only one chooses to block it, it will be blocked until that
user module decides otherwise.
The status page is divided into two sections - one with a legend of user modules and one with the actual port status. The Port
Security Status screen is shown
Figure 4-12-6 .
