This page shows the Port Security status. 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 block it. For a MAC address to be set in the forwarding
state, all enabled user modules must unanimously agree on allowing the MAC address to
forward. If only one chooses to block it, it will be blocked until that user module decides
otherwise.
The status page is divided into two sections - one with a legend of user modules and one
with the actual port status.
