10.6.4 Port Security
Port security is a security feature that makes it possible to link each port of a switch with a
specific number of MAC addresses so that communication is permitted only with autho-
rized MAC addresses. For this, the switch checks the sender MAC address each time a
link is established before any user data is transmitted.
