Parameter description:
User Module Legend :
The legend shows all user modules that may request Port Security services.
User Module Name :
The full name of a module that may request Port Security services.
Abbr :
A one-letter abbreviation of the user module. This is used in the Users column in the port
status table.
Port Status :
The table has one row for each port on the selected switch and a number of columns, which
are:
Port :
The port number for which the status applies. Click the port number to see the status for
this particular port.
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.
