Port Security

This menu allows you to control access to the device’s ports by specify- ing the physical addresses that are allowed to connect to the ports.

If an unauthorized physical address attempts to connect to a restricted port, an action (such as partition the port, send a trap, etc) can occur.

Table 5-15 describes each field in the Port Security menu.
