Configuring Port Security
– 383 –
â—† When the port security state is changed from enabled to disabled, all
dynamically learned entries are cleared from the address table.
â—† If port security is enabled, and the maximum number of allowed
addresses are set to a non-zero value, any device not in the address
table that attempts to use the port will be prevented from accessing the
switch.
â—† If a port is disabled (shut down) due to a security violation, it must be
manually re-enabled from the Interface > Port > General page
(page 150).
â—† A secure port has the following restrictions:
â–
It cannot be used as a member of a static or dynamic trunk.
â–
It should not be connected to a network interconnection device.
