Nortel Networks 10BASE-T manual MAC Address Security Configuration Screen Fields, SNMP-Locked

Using the Console Interface

Table 3-8. MAC Address Security Configuration Screen Fields

Field	Description
MAC Address Security	When set to Enabled, the software checks source MAC addresses of packets
	that arrive on secure ports against MAC addresses listed in the MAC Address
	Security Table for allowed membership (see “MAC Address Security Port
	Configuration” on page 3-28). If the software detects any source MAC address
	that is not an allowed member, a MAC intrusion event is registered.
	Default	Disabled
	Range	Disabled, Enabled
MAC Address Security	When this field is set to Enabled, the MAC Address Security screens cannot
SNMP-Locked	be modified using SNMP.
	Default	Disabled
	Range	Disabled, Enabled

Partition Port on Intrusion This field value determines how the switch reacts to an intrusion event. When an intrusion event is detected (see MAC Address Security field description) the specified port is set to Disabled (partitioned from other switch ports).

	When this field is set to:
	• Disabled -- the port remains Enabled even if an intrusion event is detected.
	• Enabled -- the port becomes Disabled, then automatically resets to
	Enabled depending on the value set in the Partition Time field (see
	Partition Time Field description).
	• Forever -- the port becomes Disabled, and remains Disabled (partitioned).
	The Partition Time field cannot be used to automatically reset the port to
	Enabled if you set this field to Forever.
	You can always manually set the port’s status field to Enabled using the Port
	Configuration screen.
	Default	Disabled
	Range	Disabled, Forever, Enabled
Partition Time	This field appears only if the Partition Port on Intrusion field is set to Enabled
	(see Partition Port on Intrusion Detected field). This field value determines the
	length of time a partitioned port remains Disabled. This field is not operational
	when the Partition Port on Intrusion field is set to Forever.
	Default	1 second
	Range	0-65536 seconds (the value 0 indicates forever)
