Port Security Commands

This section describes the command used to configure Port Security on the switch. Port security, which is also known as port MAC locking, allows you to secure the network by locking allowable MAC addresses on a given port. Packets with a matching source MAC address are forwarded normally, and all other packets are discarded.

Note

To enable the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) trap specific to port security, see snmp-server enable traps violation.
