3-5.2.1 Port Security
3-5.2.1.1 Switch
This page shows the Port Security Switch status. Port Security is a module with no direct configuration.
Configuration comes indirectly from other modules - the user modules. When a user module has enabled
port security on a port, the port is set-up for software-based learning. In this mode, frames from unknown
MAC addresses are passed on to the port security module, which in turn asks all user modules whether to
allow this new MAC address to forward or block it. For a MAC address to be set in the forwarding state, all
enabled user modules must unanimously agree on allowing the MAC address to forward. If only one
chooses to block it, it will be blocked until that user module decides otherwise.
The status page is divided into two sections - one with a legend of user modules and one with the actual
port status.
