Port Security

This menu allows you to control access to ports by specifying the physi- cal addresses that are allowed to connect to certain ports. If an unau- thorized physical address attempts to connect to the restricted port, an action (such as partition the port, send a trap, etc) can occur.

Table 4-15 describes each field in the Port Security menu.

ΔNote: For instructions on using this menu, see“Setting Port Security” on page 3-28.
