Locking Source Addresses

When Source Address Locking is enabled, it puts into place a number of security measures designed to protect your hub from unauthorized access. Depending on the revision of firmware installed on your EMM-E6 and the kinds of MIMs in the hub, locking ports can provide a number of different protections, including secure address assignment, trunk port locking, configurable violation response, both eavesdrop and intruder protection, multi-level locking modes, and new definitions for station and trunk ports: station ports are those detecting zero, one, or two source addresses; trunk ports are those detecting three or more.

Enabling port locking from the Source Address List window activates all applicable security protections, as configured via the Security application (described in Chapter 7 of this guide).

NOTE

Since the multi-level locking feature cannot be implemented from the Source Address List window, locking ports from this window will apply Full lock status by default to any ports which are currently unlocked. Any ports which are already in Continuous lock mode, however, will remain so. For more information on these lock modes and other security features, see Chapter 7, Security.

To enable or disable Source Address Locking:

1.Click mouse button 1 on the appropriate option in the Source Address Lock field.

2.Click mouse button 1 on to set your new lock status.
