3 Configuring the Switch

If a port is disabled (shut down) due to a security violation, it must be manually re-enabled from the Port/Port Configuration page (page 3-66).

Command Attributes

Port – Port number.

Name – Descriptive text (page 4-109).

Action – Indicates the action to be taken when a port security violation is detected:

-None: No action should be taken. (This is the default.)

-Trap: Send an SNMP trap message.

-Shutdown: Disable the port.

-Trap and Shutdown: Send an SNMP trap message and disable the port.

Security Status – Enables or disables port security on the port. (Default: Disabled)

Max MAC Count – The maximum number of MAC addresses that can be learned on a port. (Range: 0 - 1024, where 0 means disabled)

Trunk – Trunk number if port is a member (page 3-69 and 3-70).

Web – Click Security, Port Security. Mark the checkbox in the Status column to enable security for a port, set the maximum number of MAC addresses allowed on a port, and click Apply.

Figure 3-29 Configuring Port Security

CLI – This example selects the target port, sets the port security action to send a trap and disable the port and sets the maximum MAC addresses allowed on the port, and then enables port security for the port.
