MAC Address-Based Security
The MAC Address Security Configuration Menu (Figure 3-8) allows you to
choose the appropriate screen 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 448 MAC addresses (within a single standalone
switch or within one or more units in a single stacked configuration) that are
authorized to access the switch or stack. 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, 1/1-4, 2/6, 3/9, etc., (see
“Accelerator
Keys for Repetitive Tasks” on page 3-35).
When the switch software detects a security violation, you can set the system to
respond in any of the following ways:
• Send a trap
• Turn on destination address (DA) filtering
• Disable the specific port
You can also combine any of the three preceding options.
Choose MAC Address-Based Security (or press s) from the Switch Configuration
Menu to display the MAC Address Security Configuration Menu.
