ports) from connecting to the Switch's locked ports and gaining access to the network.
The fields that can be configured are described below:
System Maximum Address: Enter the maximum number of secure MAC addresses allowed. If not specified, the
default value is No Limit. The valid range is from 1 to 6656. Tick No Limit to allow the maximum number of secure
MAC address.
