Setting port security's limit on the number of secure
MAC addresses on a port
You can set the maximum number of secure MAC addresses that port security allows on a port for the
following purposes:
Controlling the number of concurrent users on the port. For a port operating in a security mode that
•
performs MAC authentication, 802.1X authentication, or both, the maximum number of concurrent
users on the port equals this limit or the limit of the authentication mode in use, whichever is smaller.
• Controlling the number of secure MAC addresses on the port in autoLearn mode.
The port security's limit on the number of secure MAC addresses on a port is independent of the MAC
learning limit described in MAC address table configuration in Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration
Guide.
To set the maximum number of secure MAC addresses allowed on a port:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Set the maximum number of
secure MAC addresses
allowed on a port.

Setting the port security mode

Before you set a port security mode for a port, complete the following tasks:
• Disable 802.1X and MAC authentication.
Verify that the port does not belong to any aggregation group or service loopback group.
•
If you are configuring the autoLearn mode, set port security's limit on the number of secure MAC
•
addresses. You cannot change the setting when the port is operating in autoLearn mode.
Follow these guidelines when you set the port security mode:
You can specify a port security mode when port security is disabled, but your configuration cannot
•
take effect.
• Changing the port security mode of a port logs off the online users of the port.
Do not enable 802.1X authentication or MAC authentication on a port where port security is
•
configured.
