Operation Manual – Port Security-Port Binding
H3C S5600 Series Ethernet Switches
Caution:
Enabling port security resets the following configurations on the ports to the defaults
(shown in parentheses below):
802.1x (disabled), port access control method (macbased), and port access control
mode (auto)
MAC authentication (disabled)
In addition, you cannot perform the above-mentioned configurations manually because
these configurations change with the port security mode automatically.
Note:
For details about 802.1x configuration, refer to the sections covering 802.1x and
System-Guard.
For details about MAC authentication configuration, refer to the sections covering
MAC authentication configuration.
The port security feature does not support the quick EAD deployment feature in
802.1x.
The port security feature does not support the guest VLAN feature in MAC
authentication.

1.2.2 Setting the Maximum Number of MAC Addresses Allowed on a Port

Port security allows more than one user to be authenticated on a port. The number of
authenticated users allowed, however, cannot exceed the configured upper limit.
By setting the maximum number of MAC addresses allowed on a port, you can
Control the maximum number of users who are allowed to access the network
through the port
Control the number of Security MAC addresses that can be added with port
security
This configuration is different from that of the maximum number of MAC addresses that
can be leaned by a port in MAC address management.
Follow these steps to set the maximum number of MAC addresses allowed on a port:
