Inserting/Modifying a Port Trusted MAC Address

When you set port security level 2 or 3 for a port, you specify the port-trusted MAC address. You can change that address for a port without completing all the steps to set the port security.

To add or change the port-trusted MAC address:

1.From the Configuration Menu, type t to access the Security Management Menu.

2.Type p to access the Port Security Configuration Menu.

3.Type i, and then follow the instructions on the screen.

Resetting Security to Defaults

To reset the security measures on the switch to the factory defaults, access the Security Management Menu by typing t in the Configuration Menu. Then type r to reset all of the security configurations to the factory-set defaults. These defaults and their meanings are discussed in the sections on each security measure, earlier in this chapter.

4.4 VLAN Management

A virtual LAN, or VLAN, is a logical grouping that allows stations to communicate as if they were physically connected to a single LAN, independent of the actual physical configuration of a network. The IntraCore 3524 supports port-based VLANs, in compliance with the IEEE 802.1Q standard. The following sections describe how to configure and manage VLANs on the switch. For more information on VLANs, see Chapter 7. Switching Concepts.
