Upon receiving a frame, the port in a security mode searches the MAC address table for the source
MAC address. If a match is found, the port forwards the frame. If no match is found, the port learns
the MAC address or performs authentication, depending on the security mode. If the frame is illegal,
the port takes the predefined NTK or intrusion protection action, or sends SNMP notifications.
Outgoing frames are not restricted by port security's NTK action unless they trigger the NTK feature.
The maximum number of users a port supports equals the smaller value from the following values:
•
The maximum number of secure MAC addresses that port security allows.
•
The maximum number of concurrent users the authentication mode in use allows.
For example, if 802.1X allows more concurrent users than port security's limit on the number of MAC
addresses on the port in userLoginSecureExt mode, port security's limit takes effect.

TIP:
•
userLogin
specifies 802.1X authentication and port-based access control.
userLogin
with
Secure
specifies 802.1X authentication and MAC-based access control.
Ext
indicates allowing
multiple 802.1X users to be authenticated and serviced at the same time. A security mode
without
Ext
allows only one user to pass 802.1X authentication.
•
macAddress
specifies MAC authentication.
•
Else
specifies that the authentication method before
Else
is applied first. If the authentication
fails, whether to turn to the authentication method following
Else
depends on the protocol type of
the authentication request.
•
Or
specifies that the authentication method following
Or
is applied first. If the authentication fails,
the authentication method before
