MAC port security configuration

Specifying secure MAC addresses

You can configure secure MAC addresses on tagged and untagged interfaces.

On an untagged interface

To specify a secure MAC address on an untagged interface, enter commands such as the following.

Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/7 Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1/7)# port security Brocade(config-port-security-e10000-1/1/7)# secure-mac-address 0000.0018.747C

Syntax: [no] secure-mac-address mac-address

On a tagged interface

When specifying a secure MAC address on a tagged interface, you must also specify the VLAN ID. To do so, enter commands such as the following.

Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/7 Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1/7)# port security Brocade(config-port-security-e10000-1/1/7)# secure-mac-address 0000.0018.747C 2

Syntax: [no] secure-mac-address mac-addressvlan-ID

NOTE

If MAC port security is enabled on a port and you change the VLAN membership of the port, make sure that you also change the VLAN ID specified in the secure-mac-addressconfiguration statement for the port.

When a secure MAC address is applied to a tagged port, the VLAN ID is generated for both tagged and untagged ports. When you display the configuration, you will see an entry for the secure MAC addresses. For example, you might see an entry similar to the following line.

secure-mac-address 0000.0011.2222 10

This line means that MAC address 0000.0011.2222 on VLAN 10 is a secure MAC address.

Autosaving secure MAC addresses to the startup configuration

Learned MAC addresses can automatically be saved to the startup configuration at specified intervals. The autosave feature saves learned MAC addresses by copying the running configuration to the startup configuration.

For example, to automatically save learned secure MAC addresses every 20 minutes, enter the following commands.

Brocade(config)# port security

Brocade(config-port-security)# autosave 20

Syntax: [no] autosave minutes
