4.13.4 MAC Table Learning

If the learning mode for a given port is grayed out, another module is in control of the mode, so that it cannot be changed by the
user. An example of such a module is the MAC-Based Authentication under 802.1X.
Each port can do learning based upon the following settings:
Port security is a feature that allows you to configure a switch port with one or more device MAC addresses that are authorized
to access the network through that port.
When port security is enabled on a port, the Managed Switch stops learning new MAC addresses on the specified port and
when it has reached a configured maximum number. Only incoming traffic with source addresses already stored in the dynamic
or static address table will be authorized to access the network through that port. If a device with an unauthorized MAC address
attempts to use the switch port, the intrusion will be detected and the switch can automatically take action by disabling the port
and sending a trap message.
<source MAC address, VLAN> pair for frames received on the port.
Note that you can also manually add secure addresses to the port using the Static Address Table. The selected port will stop
learning. The MAC addresses already in the address table will be retained and will not age out. Any other device that attempts to
use the port will be prevented from accessing the switch. The MAC Table Learning screen in
