IFS NS3502-8P-2S User Manual
284
• Users
Each of the user modules has a column that shows whether that
module has enabled Port Security or not. A '-' means that the
corresponding user module is not enabled, whereas a letter
indicates that the user module abbreviated by that letter (see
Abbr) has enabled port security.
• State
Shows the current state of the port. It can take one of four
values:
Disabled: No user modules are currently using the Port Security
service.
Ready: The Port Security service is in use by at least one user
module, and is awaiting frames from unknown MAC addresses to
arrive.
Limit Reached
: The Port Security service is enabled by at least the
Limit Control user module, and that module has indicated that
the limit is reached and no more MAC addresses should be taken
in.
Shutdown: The Port Security service is enabled by at least the
Limit Control user module, and that module has indicated that
the limit is exceeded. No MAC addresses can be learned on the
port until it is administratively re-opened on the Limit Control
configuration Web-page.
• MAC Count
(Current, Limit)
The two columns indicate the number of currently learned MAC
addresses (forwarding as well as blocked) and the maximum
number of MAC addresses that can be learned on the port,
respectively.
If no user modules are enabled on the port, the Current column
will show a dash (-).
If the Limit Control user module is not enabled on the port, the
Limit column will show a dash (-).

4.12.7 Port Security Detail
This page shows the MAC addresses secured by the Port Security module. Port Security is a module
with no direct configuration. Configuration comes indirectly from other modules - the user modules.
When a user module has enabled port security on a port, the port is set-up for software-based
learning. In this mode, frames from unknown MAC addresses are passed on to the port security
module, which in turn asks all user modules whether to allow this new MAC address to forward or
