WEB CONFIGURATION
Port Security
Port security is a feature that allows you to configure a port with one or more MAC addresses that are authorized to access the network through that port. The Port Security table has one row for each port and five columns.
When port security is enabled on a port, the switch stops learning new MAC addresses on the specified port when it has reached a configured maximum number. Only incoming traffic with source addresses already stored in the dynamic or static address table will be accepted as authorized to access the network through that port. If a device with an unauthorized MAC address attempts to use the switch port, the intrusion will be detected and the switch can automatically take action as specified by Intrusion Action.

•Allowed number of Learned MAC addresses - Set the maximum of MAC addresses that can be learned by this port. The Mode settings for the port are set by a single
•No Limit - No limitation on the number of dynamcally learned MAC address. This means port security is disabled.
•8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 - The maximum number of dynamically learned MAC address.
•0 - No dynamically learned MAC address is allowed on this port. This does not affect any static MAC addresses that are configured for the port.
Note: Port security only handles dynamically learned MAC addresses and has no limitations on static MAC addresses. On this switch, 24 static MAC address can be configured by System > Static MAC.
