Port Security Configuration

Use the Port Security Configuration screen to enable and configure port security for the switch. Port Security allows you to configure each port with a list of MAC addresses of devices that are authorized to access the network through that port.

Parameter	Description
Port Number	The port number on the unit.
Status	Port security can be set to three states; Enabled, Disabled,
	or Learning. When set to Enabled, the switch will drop
	packets from the port if the source MAC address does not
	match one of the addresses in the MAC Address list. If set
	to Learning, the switch will add the source MAC address of

	Address list.
MAC Address List	A list of the current authorized MAC addresses that can
	access the network through the specified port.

	to be correctly accepted by the system.
