Configuring Protected Ports

Default Protected Port Configuration

The default is to have no protected ports defined.

Protected Port Configuration Guidelines

You can configure protected ports on a physical interface (for example, Gigabit Ethernet port 1) or an
EtherChannel group (for example, port-channel 5). When you enable protected ports for a port channel,
it is enabled for all ports in the port-channel group.

Configuring a Protected Port

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to define a port as a protected port:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3
switchport protected
Step 4 end
Step 5 show interfaces interface-id switchport
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
To disable protected port, use the no switchport protected interface configuration command.
This example shows how to configure a port as a protected port:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# switchport protected
Switch(config-if)# end
