Port Security
Network security can be increased by limiting access on a specific port only to users with specific MAC addresses. The
MAC addresses can be dynamically learned, up to that point, or they can be statically configured. Locked port security
monitors both received and learned packets that are received on specific ports. Access to the locked port is limited to users
with specific MAC addresses. These addresses are either manually defined on the port, or learned on that port up to the
point when it is locked. When a packet is received on a locked port, and the packet □ source MAC address is not tied to
that port (either it was learned on a different port, or is unknown to the system), the protection mechanism is invoked, and
can provide various options. Unauthorized packets arriving to a locked port are either:
• Forwarded
• Discarded with no trap
• Discarded with a trap
• The ingress port is disabled
?
In order to enable port security, the Multiple Hosts feature must first be enabled on the required

port(s).
Locked port security also enables storing a list of MAC addresses in the configuration file. The MAC address list can be
restored after the device has been reset.
Disabled ports are activated from the Port Parameters page, see "Port Configuration".
