Learned Port Security Commands

OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide

page 18-3

• Use the no form of this command to remove LPS and clear all entries from the table. This command 

enables learning of new MAC addresses.

• The port-security chassis disable command disables all the LPS-eligible ports on the chassis. 

Disabling port security restricts a port from learning new MAC addresses.

• LPS is supported on 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet fixed, mobile, authenticated, 802.1Q tagged ports, 

and 802.1x ports. 

• LPS is not supported on 10 Gigabit Ethernet, link aggregate, or 802.1Q tagged link aggregate (trunked) 

ports.

• Note that when LPS is enabled on an active port, all MAC addresses learned on that port prior to the 

time LPS was enabled are cleared from the source learning MAC address table.

• Configurable MAC learning restrictions consist of setting a source learning time limit window, speci-

fying a maximum number of MACs allowed on a specific port, configuring a list of MAC addresses 
(individual or range of addresses) allowed on the port, and determining how a port handles traffic that 
is unauthorized. 

-> port-security 4/8 enable

-> port-security 2/1-10 enable

-> port-security 2/11-15 disable

-> no port-security 1/1-12

Release 6.1; command was introduced.
Release 6.1.5; chassis parameter was added.

lpsAdminStatus

Configures a single authorized source MAC address for a port that 
belongs to a specified VLAN.

Configures a list of authorized MAC addresses by defining a range of 
addresses allowed on the port.

Specifies the maximum number of source MAC addresses that an LPS 
port(s) is allowed to learn.

Configures the amount of time in minutes to allow source learning on all 
LPS ports.

Selects the method for handling traffic that does not comply with LPS 
restrictions for the specified port(s).
