Parameter descriptions:
System Configuration
Mode: Indicates if Limit Control is globally enabled or disabled on the switch. If globally disabled, other
modules may still use the underlying functionality, but limit checks and corresponding actions are
disabled.
Port Configuration table has one row for each switch port and a number of columns:
Port: The port number to which the configuration below applies.
Mode: Controls whether Limit Control is enabled on this port. Both this and the Global Mode must be
set to Enabled for Limit Control to be in effect. Notice that other modules may still use the underlying
port security features without enabling Limit Control on a given port.
