Configuring and Monitoring Port Security
Reading Intrusion Alerts and Resetting Alert Flags
To clear the intrusion from port A1 and enable the switch to enter any
subsequent intrusion for port A1 in the Intrusion Log, execute the port-security
clear-intrusion-flag command. If you then re-display the port status screen, you
will see that the Intrusion Alert entry for port A1 has changed to "No".
(Executing show port-security intrusion-log again will result in the same display
as above, and does not include the Intrusion Alert status.)
