Chapter17 Configuring Port-Based Tra ffic Control Configuring Port Security
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure port security aging:
To disable port security aging for all secure addresses on a port, use the no switchport port-security
aging time interface configuration command. To disable aging for only statically configured secure
addresses, use the no switchport port-security aging static interface configuration command.
This example shows how to set the aging time as 2 hours for the secure addresses on the Fast Ethernet
interface 0/1:
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security aging time 120
This example shows how to set the aging time as 2 minutes for the inactivity aging type with aging
enabled for the configured secure addresses on the in terfa ce:
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security aging time 2
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security aging type inactivity
Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security aging static
You can verify the previous commands by entering the show port-security interface interface-id
privileged EXEC command.
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 interface interface-id Specify the port on which you want to enable port security aging, and e nt er
interface configuration mode.
Step3 switchport port-security aging
{static | time time | type {absolute |
inactivity}}
Enable or disable static aging for the secure port, or set the aging time or
type.
Enter static to enable aging for statically configured secure addresses on this
port.
For time, specify the aging time for this port. The valid range is from 0 to 1440
minutes. If the time is equal to 0, aging is disabled for this port.
For type, select one of these keywords:
•absolute—Sets the aging type as absolute aging. All the secure addresses
on this port age out exactly after the time (minutes) specified lapses and are
removed from the secure address list.
•inactivity—Sets the aging type as inactivity aging. The secure addresses on
this port age out only if there is no data traffic from the secure source
addresses for the specified time period.
Step4 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step5 show port-security [interface
interface-id] [address]Verify your entries.
Step6 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
