15.2 Port Security

Port security allows only packets with dynamically learned MAC addresses and/or configured static MAC addresses to pass through a port on the Switch. The Switch can learn up to 8K MAC addresses in total with no limit on individual ports; system total MAC address entry is 8K. Static MAC address still can be configured when port security is enabled; the function of port security is concerned with dynamic mac address learn action. When total MAC address entry is 8k, static MAC can't be configured.
