Status
This page shows the Port Security status. Port Security is a module with no direct configuration. Configuration
comes indirectly from other modules - the user modules. When a user module has enabled port security on a
port, the port is set-up for software-based learning. In this mode, frames from unknown MAC addresses are
passed on to the port security module, which in turn asks all user modules whether to allow this new MAC
address to forward or block it. For a MAC address to be set in the forwarding state, all enabled user modules
must unanimously agree on allowing the MAC address to forward. If only one user chooses to block it, it will be
blocked until that user module decides otherwise.
