Security/Network/Port Security/Switch
The Page shows the Port Security status. Port Security is a
module with no direct configuration. Confugration 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 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 legend of
user modules and one with the actual port status.
