Note that:
1) Enabling port security resets the following configurations on a port to the defaults
bracketed, making them dependent completely on the port security mode:
802.1x (disabled), port access control method (macbased), and port access
control mode (auto)
MAC authentication (disabled)
2) Disabling port security resets the following configurations on a port to the defaults
bracketed:
Port security mode (noRestrictions)
802.1x (disabled), port access control method (macbased), and port access
control mode (auto)
MAC authentication (disabled)
3) Port security cannot be disabled if there is any user present on a port.
Note:
For configuration information about 802.1x authentication and MAC authentication,
refer to 802.1x-HABP-MAC Authentication Configuration.

1.4 Setting the Maximum Number of Secure MAC Addresses

With port security enabled, more than one authenticated user is allowed on a port. The
number of authenticated users allowed, however, cannot exceed the specified upper
limited.
By setting the maximum number of secure MAC addresses allowed on a port, you can
Control the maximum number of users who are allowed access the network
through the port
Control the number of secure MAC addresses that can be added with port security
This configuration is different from that of the maximum number of MAC addresses that
can be leaned by the port in MAC address management.
Follow these steps to set the maximum number of secure MAC addresses allowed on a
port:
