Port Security
v1.0, Jan 2007
Operation
Port Security:
Helps secure network by preventing unknown devices from forwarding packets
When link goes down, all dynamically locked addresses are ‘freed’
If a specific MAC address is to be set for a port, set the dynamic entries to 0, then only allow
packets with a MAC address matching the MAC address in the static list
Dynamically locked MAC addresses are aged out if another packet with that address is not
seen within the age-out time. The user can set the time-out value.
Dynamically locked MAC addresses are eligible to be learned by another port
Static MAC addresses are not eligible for aging
Dynamically locked addresses can be converted to statically locked addresses
