Description
Action
If the limit number is reached, the switch will take one of the following actions:
None: Do not allow more than Limit MAC addresses on the port, but take no
further action.
Trap: If Limit + 1 MAC addresses is seen on the port, send an SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol) trap. If Aging is disabled, only one SNMP trap
will be sent, but with Aging enabled, new SNMP traps will be sent every time the
limit gets exceeded. Shutdown: If Limit + 1 MAC addresses is seen on the port,
shut down the port. This implies that all secured MAC addresses will be removed
from the port, and no new address will be learned. Even if the link is physically
disconnected and reconnected on the port (by disconnecting the cable), the port
will remain shut down. Trap & Shutdown: If Limit + 1 MAC addresses is seen on the
port, both the “Trap” and the “Shutdown” actions described above will be taken.
State
This column shows the current state of the port as seen from the
Limit Control’s point of view. The state takes one of four values: Disabled: Limit
Control is either globally disabled or disabled on the port.
Ready: The limit is not yet reached. This can be shown for all actions.
Limit Reached: Indicates that the limit is reached on this port.
This state can only be shown if Action is set to None or Trap.
Shutdown: Indicates that the port is shut down by the Limit Control module. This
state can only be shown if Action is set to Shutdown or Trap & Shutdown.
Re-open

which will only be enabled if this is the case.
