Configure Port Security

Description
Port security prevents unauthorized access of a port by "securing" a list
of specific MAC addresses to a port. If the switch sees a MAC address
that is not on the secured list, it discards the traffic.
To set port security from Local Management
1 From the Configure Device screen, select Forwarding and Filtering.
2 From the menu select Configure Port Security.
3 Press the z to select the switch you want to configure.
4 Select a port you want to secure. Press z in the Learning field
to disable the port's ability to learn new MAC addresses.
5 Press q to move up a level and select the Configure Static MAC
Addresses screen.
6 Define a list of MAC addresses and assign them to the same port you
secured in the Port Security screen.
To turn off port security
1 From the Configure Device screen, select Forwarding and Filtering.
Select Configure Port Security from this menu.
2 Press the z to select the switch you want to configure.
3 Select the port on which you want to disable security. Press the
z in the Learning field to disable security and allow the port
to learn new MAC addresses.
