Configuring and Monitoring Port Security

simultaneously increase the limit and add the MAC address with a single command. For example, suppose port 1 allows one authorized device and already has a device listed:

 

To add a second authorized device to port 1, execute a port-security command

 

for for port 1 that raises the address limit to 2 and specifies the additional

 

device’s MAC address. For example:

 

SMC TigerSwitch 10/100(config)# port-security 1 mac-

 

address 0c0090-456456 address-limit 2

 

Removing a Device From the “Authorized” List for a Port. This com-

 

mand option removes unwanted devices (MAC addresses) from the Autho-

 

rized Addresses list. (An Authorized Address list is available for each port for

 

which Learn Mode is currently set to “Static”. See the “Address List” entry in

 

the table on page 7-13.)

 

 

C a u t i o n

When learn mode is set to static, the Address Limit (address-limit) parameter

 

controls how many devices are allowed in the Authorized Addresses (mac-

 

address) for a given port. If you remove a MAC address from the Authorized

 

Addresses list without also reducing the Address Limit by 1, the port may

 

subsequently detect and accept as authorized a MAC address that you do not

 

intend to include in your Authorized Address list. Thus, if you use the CLI to

 

remove a device that is no longer authorized, it is recommended that you first

 

reduce the Address Limit (address-limit) integer by 1, as shown below. This

 

prevents the possibility of the same device or another unauthorized device on

 

the network from automatically being accepted as “authorized” for that port.

 

To remove a device (MAC address) from the “Authorized” list and when the

 

 

current number of devices equals the Address Limit value, you should first

 

reduce the Address Limit value by 1, then remove the unwanted device.
