7.2 Switch Status
This section shows the port security status. Port Security is a module with no direct
configuration. Configuration comes indirectly through 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 onto the port security module, which in turn asks all user modules whether
to allow this new MAC address or to block it. In order 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 user 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.
