MAC Address-Based Security
The MAC Address Security Configuration Menu screen (Figure 3-10) allows you
to specify a range of system responses to unauthorized network access to your
switch. The system response can range from sending a trap to disabling the port.
The network access control is based on the MAC addresses of the authorized
stations. You can specify a list of up to 98 MAC addresses that are authorized to
access the switch. You can also specify the ports that each MAC address is
allowed to access. The options for allowed port access include: NONE, ALL, and
single or multiple ports that are specified in a list, for example, 1-4, 6, 9, etc., (see
“
Accelerator Keys for Repetitive Tasks” on page 3-32). You must also include the
MAC address of any router connected to any secure ports.
When the switch software detects a security violation, the response can be to send
a trap, turn on destination address (DA) filtering, disable the specific port, or any
combination of these three options.
Choose MAC Address-Based Security (or press s) from the Switch Configuration
Menu screen to open the MAC Address Security Configuration Menu screen.
