Issue the following command to enable all the ports on the Security Module in slot 3.

Configuring Autolearning

Autolearning uses the network monitoring features of the EMM to provide a mechanism which:

Learns the MAC addresses of the stations that have been sending packets to the EMM network

Continuously monitors network activity

An EMM at Version 4.0 is required to configure Autolearning.

Once the Autolearning capture process begins, the EMM takes an instantaneous 'snapshot' of the MAC addresses that have passed through the specified ports. These addresses are stored in the Autolearning database.

Issue the following command to initiate Autolearning capture for all ports on the Security Module in slot 3.

ONline> set security autolearn 3.all capture [ENTER]

The following steps are initiated once the Autolearn Capture command is issued:

1.The Autolearning database (the storage area for learned MAC addresses) is cleared.

2.All of the MAC addresses observed on the specified ports are entered into the Autolearning database.

3.The entries from the specified ports' MAC address table are copied into the Autolearning database.
