13.9 Port Security
13.9.1 About Port Security
Port security allows only packets with dynamically learned MAC addresses and/or configured
static MAC addresses to pass through a port on the switch. The switch can learn up to 16K
MAC addresses in total with no limit on individual ports other than the sum cannot exceed
16K.
For maximum port security, enable this feature, disable MAC address learning and configure
static MAC address(es) for a port. It is not recommended you disable Port Security together
with MAC address learning as this will result in many broadcasts. By default, MAC address
learning is still enabled even though the port security is not activated.
13.9.2 Configuring Port Security
Follow the steps below to configure the Port Security screen.
1 In the Device Panel list, select a device and then right-click.

port.
Select On from the drop-down list box to periodically prompt a subscriber to
re-enter his or her username and password to stay connected to the port.
Specify how often a client has to re-enter his or her username and password
to stay connected to the port.
Click Apply to save the changes back to the switch.
