security feature.
The following is the list of log and alarm messages related to port access control in ROS®:
• MAC Address Authorization Failure
• Secure Port X Learned MAC Addr on VLAN X
• Port Security Violated
MAC Address Authorization Failure
ROS® generates this alarm and logs a message in the syslog when a host connected to a
secure port in RuggedSwitch is communicating using a source MAC address which has not
been authorized by ROS®, or the dynamically learned MAC address has exceeded the total
number of MAC addresses configured to be learned dynamically on the secured port. This
message is only applicable when the port security mode is set to "Static MAC".
