protect—when the number of secure MAC addresses reaches the maximum limit allowed on the
EFP, packets with unknown source addresses are dropped until you remove a sufficient number of
secure MAC addresses to drop below the maximum value or increase the number of maximum
allowable addresses. You are not notified that a security violation has occurred.
restrict—when the number of secure MAC addresses reaches the maximum limit allowed on the
EFP, packets with unknown source addresses are dropped until you remove a sufficient number of
secure MAC addresses to drop below the maximum value or increase the number of maximum
allowable addresses. In this mode, you are notified that a security violation has occurred. An SNMP
trap is sent, a syslog message is logged, and the violation counter increments.
shutdown—a MAC security violation causes the EFP service instance to become error-disabled and
to shut down immediately. An SNMP trap is sent, a syslog message is logged, and the violation
counter increments. When a secure EFP is in the error-disabled state, you can manually re-enable it
using clear ethernet service instance number interface interface-id privileged EXEC command or
entering the shutdown and no shutdown service instance configuration commands. This is the
default mode.
