Port security is a feature that allows you to configure a switch port with one or more device MAC addresses that are authorized to access the network through that port.. When port security is enabled on a port, the Switch stops learning new MAC addresses on the specified port when it has reached a configured maximum number.. Only incoming traffic with source addresses already stored in the dynamic or static address table will be accepted as authorized to access the network through that port.. If a device with an unauthorized MAC address attempts to use the switch port, the intrusion will be detected and the Switch can automatically take action by disabling the port and sending a trap message..
