Port Security
Port Security helps secure the network by preventing unknown devices from forwarding
packets. When a link goes down, all dynamically locked addresses are freed. The port
security feature offers the following benefits:
• You can limit the number of MAC addresses on a given port. Packets that have a
matching MAC address (secure packets) are forwarded; all other packets (unsecure
packets) are restricted.
• You can enable port security on a per port basis.
Port security implements two traffic filtering methods, dynamic locking and static locking.
These methods can be used concurrently.
• Dynamic locking. You can specify the maximum number of MAC addresses that can be
learned on a port. The maximum number of MAC addresses is platform dependent and is
