Configuring and Monitoring Port Security

Overview

Using Port Security, you can configure each switch port with a unique list of

the MAC addresses of devices that are authorized to access the network

through that port. This enables individual ports to detect, prevent, and log

attempts by unauthorized devices to communicate through the switch.

Note This feature does not prevent intruders from receiving broadcast and multi-

cast traffic.

Basic Operation

Default Port Security Operation. The default port security setting for

each port is off, or continuous. That is, any device can access a port without

causing a security reaction.

Intruder Protection. A port that detects an “intruder” blocks the intruding

device from transmitting to the network through that port.
