MAC Port Security
Table 303 lists the individual Brocade FastIron switches and the Media Access Control (MAC) port
security features they support. These features are supported in the Layer 2, base Layer 3, edge
Layer 3, and full Layer 3 software images, except where explicitly noted.
This chapter describes how to configure Brocade devices to learn “secure” MAC addresses on an
interface so that the interface will forward only packets that match the secure addresses.
