Security > Ports Security
Port security is a feature that allows you to configure a
switch port with one or more device MAC addresses that
are authorized to access the network through that port .
When port security is enabled on a port, 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 will be accepted as
authorized to access the network through that 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 .
