MAC port security prevents unlearned devices from sending information
through selected ports. Avaya P330 ports maintain a list of the MAC
addresses of devices that are linked to them. This list is called the
Content Address Memory (CAM). Before enabling MAC port security on
a port, allow the port to learn the MAC addresses of the devices from
which you want the port to forward traffic. Once MAC port security is
enabled on the port, it rejects all traffic from devices not listed in the
CAM.
