Brocade Communications Systems 6650 manual MAC port security configuration

MAC port security configuration

•Brocade devices do not support the reserved-vlan-idnum command, which changes the default VLAN ID for the MAC port security feature.

•The SNMP trap generated for restricted MAC addresses indicates the VLAN ID associated with the MAC address, as well as the port number and MAC address.

•MAC port security is not supported on ports that have multi-device port authentication enabled.

•The first packet from each new secure MAC address is dropped if secure MAC addresses are learned dynamically.

MAC port security configuration

To configure the MAC port security feature, perform the following tasks:

•Enable the MAC port security feature

•Set the maximum number of secure MAC addresses for an interface

•Set the port security age timer

•Specify secure MAC addresses

•Configure the device to automatically save secure MAC addresses to the startup-config file

•Specify the action taken when a security violation occurs
