3. Configure the following parameter(s) as required:
Parameter
Description
Port
Synopsis:
1 to maximum port number
Default:
1
The port number as seen on the front plate silkscreen of the
switch.
Security
Synopsis:
{ Off, Static MAC, 802.1X, 802.1x/MAC-Auth }
Default:
Off
Enables or disables the port's security feature. Two types of port
access control are available:
• Static MAC address-based. With this method, authorized MAC
address(es) should be configured in the Static MAC Address
table. If some MAC addresses are not known in advance (or it is
not known to which port they will be connected), there is still
an option to configure the switch to auto-learn certain number
of MAC addresses. Once learned, they do not age out until the
unit is reset or the link goes down.
• IEEE 802.1X standard authentication.
• IEEE 802.1X with MAC-Authentication, also known as MAC-
Authentication Bypass. With this option, the device can
authenticate clients based on the client’s MAC address if IEEE
802.1X authentication times out.
Autolearn
Synopsis:
1 to 16 or { None }
Default:
None
Only applicable when the 'Security' field has been set to 'Static
MAC'. It specifies maximum number of MAC addresses that can
be dynamically learned on the port. If there are static addresses
configured on the port, the actual number of addresses allowed
to be learned is this number minus the number of the static MAC
addresses.
Sticky
Synopsis:
{ No, Yes }
Default:
Yes
