Configuring Mac Move Limiting (J-Web Procedure) - Dell PowerConnect J-EX4200-24T Software Manual

Configuring MAC Move Limiting (J-Web Procedure)

MAC move limiting detects MAC address movement and MAC address spoofing on access
ports. MAC address movements are tracked, and if a MAC address moves more than the
configured number of times within one second, the configured (or default) action is
performed. You enable this feature on VLANs.
NOTE: Although you enable this feature on VLANs, the MAC move limitation
pertains to the number of movements for each individual MAC address rather
than the total number of MAC address moves in the VLAN. For example, If
the MAC move limit is set to 1, the switch allows an unlimited number of MAC
address movements within the VLAN as long as the same MAC address does
not move more than once.
In the default configuration, the MAC move limit within each VLAN is unlimited; the default
action that the switch will take if the specified MAC move limit is exceeded is

Drop—Drop the packets and generate a system log entry, an SNMP trap, or an

Shutdown—Shut down the VLAN and generate an alarm. You can mitigate the
effect of this option by configuring the switch for autorecovery from the disabled
state and specifying a
