Security > Port Security
Network security can be increased by limiting access on
a specific port only to users with specific MAC addresses.
MAC addresses can be dynamically learned or statically
configured. Locked port security monitors both received
and learned packets that are received on specific ports.
Access to the locked port is limited to users with specific
MAC addresses. These addresses are either manually
defined on the port, or learned on that port up to the
point when it is locked. When a packet is received on a
locked port, and the packet source MAC address is not tied
to that port (either it was learned on a different port, or it
is unknown to the system), the protection mechanism is
invoked, and can provide various options. Unauthorized
packets arriving at a locked port are either:
Forwarded •
Discarded with no trap •
Discarded with a trap •
Cause the port to be shut down. •
Locked port security also enables storing a list of MAC
addresses in the configuration file. The MAC address list
can be restored after the device has been reset.
Disabled ports are activated from the Port Security page.
