MAC Security Configuration Fields:
MAC Address 1-3 list displays the MAC address entries belonging to that port in the
•
look-up table.
Approved MAC field displays the specific MAC address to be secured (the MAC
•
address according to which the MAC security algorithm works).
Mode field displays the MAC security operation mode (disabled, low security or high
•
security).
Status field displays the port security status (disable, port forwarding, or port blocked).
•
When disabled appears in the Status field, this means that the MAC security is
disabled. When port forwarding or port blocked appears in the Status field, this
means that the MAC security is enabled and that specific port is either forwarding or
blocked in accordance to the MAC security algorithms.
NOTE: Port Monitoring, MAC security and 802.1X cannot be active at the same time.
1. In the Approved MAC list select the MAC address to be designated as the
approved MAC address.
2. Open the Mode list and set the mode according to the following parameter
descriptions:
• Disable – MAC security is not enabled.
• Low Security Level – The port is open (forwards data) for all devices as long as
the approved MAC address exists on the port's look-up table. When the designated
device is disconnected and its MAC address is removed from the port table, the
port blocks data communication to all devices.
• High Security Level – Only the designated approved MAC address can use the
port (i.e., only the approved MAC address exists on the port's look-up table). If the
port receives frames from another device (other addresses in the look-up table),
then the port blocks all data transmission, even for the approved address.
NOTE: When a port is blocked through MAC Security it is detected as a major event and
an appropriate trap is sent to the authorized SNMP managers.
