Security State (Selectable)
Used to select the state of security for frames received by a specific port 
on the connector. The states are as follows:
PortMismatch – Indicates that not all ports on the connector are set to 
the same state.
NonSecure – Allows the ports on the connector to receive all frames. 
The source address of received frames is not examined and the frames 
are processed in a non secure state. 
LockOnNext – The next frame received by each port is examined to 
learn its source address. As the source address of a frame is learned on 
a port, only those frames received with that same source address are 
processed on that port. Any other address detected is considered as an 
intruder and the device executes the actions selected in the Action On 
Intruder field.
LockedOnAddr – The source address of the last frame received (or the 
source address entered in the Port Level Security Configuration 
screen, if one is entered) is used for security purposes. Once a secure 
address is defined on a port, only those frames received with that same 
source address are processed on that port. Any other frame detected 
with a different address is considered as an intruder, causing the device 
to execute the actions selected in the Action On Intruder field.
Action On Intruder (Toggle)
Used to select the actions taken for the selected security state. There are 
two fields to select the actions. Both toggle to activate or deactivate the 
action.
DisablePort/NoDisable – DisablePort causes the switch to turn off the 
port that had a security violation. With NoDisable set, the port is not 
turned off.
SendTrap/NoTrap – SendTrap causes the switch to send an SNMP trap 
when a port detects a security violation. With NoTrap set, no SNMP 
trap is sent.
