Port Security; Port Security Settings - D-Link DGS-3200 Series User Manual

Port Security

The Port Security folder contains two windows: Port Security Settings and Port Lock Entries.

Port Security Settings

A given port's (or a range of ports') dynamic MAC address learning can be locked such that the current source MAC addresses
entered into the MAC address forwarding table can not be changed once the port lock is enabled. The port can be locked by
changing the Admin State pull-down menu to Enabled and clicking Apply.
Port Security is a security feature that prevents unauthorized computers (with source MAC addresses) unknown to the Switch
prior to locking the port (or ports) from connecting to the Switch's locked ports and gaining access to the network.
