Secure
This security level instructs the switch to forward frames based solely on
static MAC addresses. When this security level is activated, the switch
deletes all dynamic MAC addresses and disables the MAC address table
so that no new addresses can be learned.
The switch also deletes any addresses in the static MAC address table.
Once you have activated this security level, you must enter the static
MAC addresses of the nodes whose frames the switch should forward.
The switch will forward frames only from those nodes whose MAC
addresses you enter in the static MAC address table. Any node whose
MAC address is not in the static MAC address table will not be able to
send frames through the switch.
Lock All Ports
This security level causes the switch to immediately stop learning new
dynamic MAC addresses. The switch forwards frames based on the
dynamic MAC addresses that it has already learned and any static MAC
addresses that the network administrator has entered.
The MAC aging time is disabled in this security level; no dynamic MAC
addresses are deleted from the MAC address table, even those
belonging to inactive end nodes.
Note
For background information on MAC addresses and aging time,
refer to MAC Address Overview on page 162.
