This
section
shows
the
Port
Security
status.
Port
Security
is
a
module
with
no
direct
configuration.
Configuration
comes
indirectly
from
other
modules—
the
user
modules.
When
a
user
module
has
enabled
port
security
on
a
port,
the
port
is
set
up
for
software-‐based
learning.
In
this
mode,
frames
from
unknown
MAC
addresses
are
passed
on
to
the
port
security
module,
which
in
turn
asks
all
user
modules
whether
to
allow
this
new
MAC
address
to
forward
or
block
it.
For
a
MAC
address
to
be
set
in
the
forwarding
state,
all
enabled
user
modules
must
unanimously
agree
on
allowing
the
MAC
address
to
forward.
If
only
one
chooses
to
block
it,
it
will
be
blocked
until
that
user
module
decides
otherwise.
The
status
page
is
divided
into
two
sections—one
with
a
legend
of
user
modules
and
one
with
