Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Command Line Interface
Port Security Settings
The port security feature controls the address learning capability and the traffic forwarding
decisions for a port or ports. When enabled, you specify a number of source addresses to be
learned (locked) at the port. Any incoming packets that do not have the learned source
addresses are discarded.
The maximum number of learned addresses is ten. When the maximum number is reached,
any incoming packet without one of the learned addresses is discarded, and no more new
addresses can be learned at this port.
There are two modes for learned addresses.
