Chapter 16 Configuring Port Security
Configuring Port Security on the Switch
This example removes one MAC address from the secure address list on port 4/7:
Console> (enable) clear port security 4/7 00-11-22-33-44-55
00-11-22-33-44-55 cleared from secure address list for port 4/7
Console> (enable)
This example removes all MAC addresses from ports 4/5–7:
Console> (enable) clear port security 4/5-7 all
All addresses cleared from secure address list for ports 4/5-7
Console> (enable)
Configuring Unicast Flood Blocking on Secure Ports
To configure unicast flood blocking, you must disable the unicast flood feature.
Note
The port disables unicast flooding once the MAC address limit is reached.
To configure unicast flood blocking on a secure port, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to configure the switch to disable unicast flood packets on a port and verify its
configuration:
Console> (enable) set port security 4/1 unicast-flood disable
Port 4/1 security flood mode set to disable.
Console> (enable) show port security 4/1

Note
The show port unicast-flood command displays the run-time status of unicast flood blocking. The
output can show unicast flooding as either enabled or disabled depending upon if the port has exceeded
its address limitation.
Task
Command
Step 1

secure ports.
