3.1.5.9. Security - Network - Limit Control
This page allows you to configure the Port Security Limit Control system and port settings.
Limit Control allows for limiting the number of users on a given port. A user is identified by a
MAC address and VLAN ID. If Limit Control is enabled on a port, the limit specifies the
maximum number of users on the port. If this number is exceeded, an action is taken. The
action can be one of the four different actions as described below.
The Limit Control module utilizes a lower-layer module, Port Security module, which
manages MAC addresses learnt on the port.
The Limit Control configuration consists of two sections, a system- and a port-wide.
System Configuration
Mode
Indicates if Limit Control is globally enabled or disabled on the stack. If globally disabled,
other modules may still use the underlying functionality, but limit checks and corresponding
actions are disabled.
