S3600 Series 8- or 16-Port 10G/Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch with 2 SFP+ Ports
Port security
Port security lets you lock one or more ports on the switch. When a port is locked, the
port can only forward packets if the total number of dynamically learned MAC addresses
and the total number of statically added MAC addresses are not exceeded. You can set
the thresholds for these numbers. Once a threshold is exceeded, the port discards all
other packets.
You can also convert dynamically learned MAC addresses to static MAC addresses and
allow traffic from these MAC addresses on a port.
Configure the global port security mode
Before you can enable and configure port security for individual ports, you must globally
enable the port security mode for the switch.
To configure the global port security mode:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network,
or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser and enter the IP address of the switch in the address field of
your web browser.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on-network
and connected to the Internet on page 25 or Access the switch off-network and not
connected to the Internet on page 32.
The Device Admin Password page displays.
If you did not yet activate your warranty, the Register to activate your warranty page
displays. For more information, see Register the switch on page 35.
3. Enter one of the following passwords:
• Enter your device admin password.
• If you previously managed the switch through the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight
app, enter the Insight network password for the last Insight network location.
For information about the credentials, see Credentials for the device UI on page 34.
