Configuring and Monitoring Port Security
Port Security Command Options and Operation
9-8
Syntax: port-security [e] < port-list > (- Continued -)
learn-mode < continuous | static | configured | port-access >
Configured: The static-configured option operates the same
as the static-learn option on the preceding page, except that
it does not allow the switch to accept non-specified
addresses to reach the address limit. Thus, if you configure
an address limit of 3, but only configure two MAC
addresses, the switch will handle as intruders all non-
specified MAC addresses it detects.
Port-Access: Enables you to use Port Security with (802.1X)
Port-Based Access Control. Refer to "Configuring Port-
Based and Client-Based Access Control (802.1X)" on page
8-1.
address-limit < integer >
When Learn Mode is set to static (static-learn) or configured
(static-configured), this parameter specifies the number of
authorized devices (MAC addresses) to allow. Default: 1;
Range: 1 to 8.
mac-address < mac-addr >
Available for static (static-learn and configured-learn)
modes. Allows up to eight authorized devices (MAC
addresses) per port, depending on the value specified in
the
address-limit
If you use mac-address with learn-mode configured, but
•
enter fewer devices than you specified in the address-
limit field, the port accepts only the devices you specified
with mac-address. (See the Note, above.)
If you use mac-address with learn-mode static, but enter
•
fewer devices than you specified in the address-limit
field, the port accepts the specified devices AND as many
other devices as it takes to reach the device limit.
