Syntax

port security [forward discard discard-shutdown] [trap seconds]

no port security

forward—Forwards frames with unlearned source addresses, but does not learn the address.

discard—Discards frames with unlearned source addresses. This is the default if no option is indicated.

discard-shutdown—Discards frames with unlearned source addresses. The port is also shut down.

trap Seconds—Sends SNMP traps and defines the minimal amount of time in seconds between two consecutive traps. (Range: 1 - 1,000,000)

Default Configuration

Disabled - No port security

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, port-channel) mode

User Guidelines

There are no user guidelines for this command.

Example

In this example, frame forwarding is enabled without learning, and with traps sent every 100 seconds on port g1.

Console (config)# interface ethernet g1

Console (config-if)#port security forward trap 100

Console (config-if)#port security discard trap 100

Console (config-if)#port security discard-shutdown trap 100
