segment. When that specific MAC address does not exist on the look-up table, the port is blocked to all

the devices.

An example of this is a researcher who has a number of LAN devices (a PC, a printer, a notebook,

testing equipment, etc.) hooked-up to a "local lab segment" connected to the organization's network

through manageable Mosaic switch secured access port. The researcher has assigned his notebook as

the approved address. When low security is enabled, all the devices on the lab segment cannot access

the network unless the researcher's notebook is connected to the lab segment.

Another example is the company conference room that has a local segment. Visitors may plug into the

segment but it will stay isolated from the network unless a company authorized representative is

present and connected.

NOTE: The Low Security Level blocks data transmission through the port after the aging

time of the approved address has elapsed. It is important to keep this in mind when

configuring the aging time parameters.
