A port in security mode will be locked and disabled to perform further MAC address learning. Only the incoming packets with source MAC address already existing in the switch MAC address table can be forwarded normally. Otherwise, the packets are dropped.
Options - Enabled, Disabled
For specific security application, user can disable the port from learning any new MAC addresses, then use the static MAC addresses operation to define a list of MAC addresses that are allowed to pass through the secure port.
