5-36 Managing Device Security
v1.0, July 2009
Dynamic locking implements a ‘first arrival’ mechanism for Port Security. You specify how many
addresses can be learned on the locked port. If the limit has not been reached, then a packet with an
unknown source MAC address is learned and forwarded normally. When the limit is reached, no
more addresses are learned on the port. Any packets with source MAC addresses that were not
already learned are discarded. You can effectively disable dynamic locking by setting the number
of allowable dynamic entries to zero.
Static locking allows you to specify a list of MAC addresses that are allowed on a port. The
behavior of packets is the same as for dynamic locking: only packets with an allowable source
MAC address can be forwarded.
