mac-learning

These commands can be used to enable port security on a port.
When MAC address learning is disabled on an interface, only incoming
traffic with source addresses already stored in the dynamic or static
address table for this port will be authorized to access the network.
When using port security, the switch stops learning new MAC addresses on
the specified port when it has reached a configured maximum number.
Only incoming traffic with source addresses already stored in the dynamic
or static address table for this port will be authorized to access the
network. The port will drop any incoming frames with a source MAC
address that is unknown or has been previously learned from another port.
If a device with an unauthorized MAC address attempts to use the switch
port, the intrusion will be detected and the switch can automatically take
action by disabling the port and sending a trap message.
