Port Security

Port Security allow you to restrict specific MAC addresses to reside in some port. For example, a dummy hub is attached to some port for extension, and you just only allow 2 users to access this port at the same time, you can use the port security window to set the parameters.

Figure 5-9. The Port Security page

To restrict the number of MAC address to reside in a port, you must do the following :

Click the “ Enable “ checkbox for that port. IF the “ Enable “checkbox is uncheck, there is no MAC address count restriction for that port.

Type the number in the “ Max Allowed MAC Address Count

edit for that port. The upper bound of this number is the “ Max Allowed MAC Address Count per port

Press the “ Press “ button

The “ Used Count “ will tell you how many MAC address residing in the corresponding port now.

Note : A trunked port is not allowed to enable the port security
