Configuring Basic Attributes Of The Ethernet Interface; Establishing The Configuration Task - Huawei Quidway S9300 Configuration Manual

Quidway S9300 Terabit Routing Switch
Configuration Guide - Ethernet
Port Security Protection
The port security protection function records the MAC address of the host connected to a port
of the S9300, that is, the network adapter ID of the host. Only the host with the specified MAC
address can communicate with this port. Hosts with other MAC addresses are prevented form
communicating with the port. The port security protection prevents certain devices from access
the network, thus enhancing network security.

Data Preparation
To configure the basic functions of Ethernet interfaces, you need the following data.
Issue 03 (2009-08-20)
You can configure the description of interfaces to facilitate the identification, maintenance,
and configuration of the interfaces.
By default, an FE electrical interface automatically identifies the network cable type. If the
interface cannot identify the cable type properly, set the cable type for the interface
manually.
By default, an FE electrical interface negotiates the duplex mode and rate with the
equipment that is directly connected to the interface. If the connected equipment does not
have the auto-negotiation capability, set the duplex mode and rate for the FE interface
manually so that the interface can work with the connected equipment.
