MAC Sticky Overview
MAC Sticky is a function that allows users to configure the maximum number of MAC addresses (the Limit)
that a port can “learn”. Users can configure what action should be taken (under Secure Action) when a new
MAC address tries to access a port after the maximum number of MAC addresses have already been
learned. The total number of allowed MAC addresses cannot exceed 1024.
How MAC Sticky Works
In MAC Sticky mode, administrators can set a proper limit number and then configure trust devices
manually, or let the system configure trust devices automatically. Except for dropping packets as a response
to any violations, administrators can set ‘port shutdown’ on a port and achieve a strict security guarantee.
When a violation is registered on a port, the port will shut down and an administrator will receive a
notification to perform a check.
