Locked Ports

Activating the access control
On this page, you can block individual ports for unknown nodes.
If the Port Lock function is enabled, packets arriving at this port from unknown MAC addresses
are discarded immediately. Packets from known nodes are accepted by the port.
Since ports with the Port Lock function enabled cannot learn any MAC addresses, learned
addresses on these ports are automatically deleted after the Port Lock function is enabled.
The port accepts only static MAC addresses that were created previously either manually or
with the "Start learning" function and the "Stop learning" function.
To enter all connected nodes automatically, there is a function for automatic learning (see
"Layer 2 > Unicast > Learning").
