Port Security Configuration
Use the Port Security Configuration screen to enable and configure
port security for the switch. Port Security allows you to configure
each port with a list of MAC addresses of devices that are authorized
to access the network through that port.
Parameter Description
Port Number The port number on the unit.
Status Port security can set to three states; Static, Disable, or
Learning. When set to Static, the switch will drop packets
from the port if the source MAC address does not match
one of the addresses in the MAC Address list. If set to
Learning, the switch will add the source MAC address of
all packets received on the port to the authorized MAC
Address list.
MAC Address List A list of the authorized MAC addresses that can access
the network through the specified port.
New Address A specific MAC address to be added to the list.
Add Adds a new specified MAC address to the current list.
Remove Removes a MAC address from the current list.
