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 all packets
	received on the port to the authorized MAC Address
	list.
MAC Address List	A list of the current authorized MAC addresses that
	can access the network through the specified port.
MAC Address	A specific MAC address to be added or deleted from
	the list. A MAC address must be entered as 12
	hexadecimal digits in the format “000000-000000” or
	“000000000000” to be correctly accepted by the
	system.
Add	Adds a new MAC address to the current list.
Remove	Removes a MAC address from the current list.
Clear All	Clears all the MAC addresses for the current port.
