MAC Address Security Configuration Menu screen

The MAC Address Security Configuration Menu screen (Figure 46) allows you to specify a range of system responses to unauthorized network access to your switch. The system response can range from sending a trap to disabling the port. The network access control is based on the MAC addresses of the authorized stations. You can specify a list of up to 448 MAC addresses that are authorized to access the switch. You can also specify the ports that each MAC address is allowed to access. The options for allowed port access include: NONE, ALL, and single or multiple ports that are specified in a list, for example, 1-4, 6, 9, etc. You must also include the MAC address of any router connected to any secure ports.

When the switch software detects a security violation, the response can be to send a trap, turn on destination address (DA) filtering, disable the specific port, or any combination of these three options.

To open the MAC Address Security Configuration screen:
