STRIDE SE-SW5U - Port Security Enables and Port Security MAC Entries

Port Security Enables and Port Security MAC Entries
Port Security Enables and Port Security MAC Entries settings must be used in conjunction
with one another.
The Port Security feature will drop packets from devices that are NOT entered in to the Port
Security MAC Entries table. The security can be enabled for each port individually. The
“Global Port Security Enable” selection must be enabled for the switch to start using the
MAC Entries table.
First, on the Port Security MAC Entries page, create the table of MAC addresses allowed on
each port and enter Commit Changes.
• The MAC address must be entered in the format 12:34:56:78:9A:BC.
• If a MAC address is configured to be allowed on one port AND that port is enabled on the Port
Security Enables page, that MAC address is disallowed access on any other port, including ports for
which security is not enabled on the Security Enables page. For example: If the MAC address for
Device A has been configured for Port 1 in the MAC Entries table and Device A is plugged in to
Port 5, the messages for Device A will be dropped even if Port 5 does not have security enabled.
• More than one MAC address may be configured for a port.
• A MAC address may be configured for only one port.
• If no MAC addresses are entered on the Port Security MAC Entries page AND that port is enabled
on the Port Security Enables page, the port is effectively shut down and all packets will be dropped
at that port.
NOTE: This feature is not supported in the 5-port models
