Configuring Port Security
Network security can be increased by limiting access on a port to users with
specific MAC addresses. The MAC addresses can be either dynamically learned
or statically configured.
Port security monitors received and learned packets. Access to locked ports is
limited to users with specific MAC addresses.
Port Security has four modes:
• Classic Lock—All learned MAC addresses on the port are locked, and the
port does not learn any new MAC addresses. The learned addresses are
not subject to aging or re-learning.
• Limited Dynamic Lock—The device learns MAC addresses up to the
configured limit of allowed addresses. After the limit is reached, the device
does not learn additional addresses. In this mode, the addresses are
subject to aging and re-learning.
• Secure Permanent—Keeps the current dynamic MAC addresses
associated with the port and learns up to the maximum number of
addresses allowed on the port (set by Max No. of Addresses Allowed).
Relearning and aging are disabled.
• Secure Delete on Reset—Deletes the current dynamic MAC addresses
associated with the port after reset. New MAC addresses can be learned
as Delete-On-Reset ones up to the maximum addresses allowed on the
port. Relearning and aging are disabled.
