Enabling Security and Traps
Repeater-level Security and Traps
Locking ports at the repeater, or channel, level applies all applicable security (as 
configured via the Port Security window) to every port on the channel. 
To enable or disable security and traps for all ports on a repeater:
1.
In the Repeater Security window, click mouse button 1 on the repeater 
interface for which you would like to configure port locking and/or traps.
2.
Click mouse button 1 on 
; the Channel X Security window, 
, will appear. Note that the current repeater-level settings are 
displayed immediately to the right of the field names; a repeater whose ports 
have different Security Mode or Trap settings will display a status of 
“Mismatch.”

3.
In the Security Mode field, click mouse button 1 on the appropriate selection 
to apply Full or Continuous lock status to all ports on the selected repeater 
channel, or to Unlock all ports on the channel. (Note that if your EMM-E6 
does not support the newest security enhancements, the Continuous 
selection will be unavailable.) 
4.
In the Send Trap field, click mouse button 1 on the appropriate selection to 
Enable or Disable traps for the selected repeater channel.
NOTE
If you select a repeater whose ports have different security capabilities, you may still be 
able to select and apply security states which are not applicable to all ports. Applying 
these kinds of settings will have no adverse affect on your network devices: those ports 
which can accept the set will do so; those which cannot will either ignore the set or issue a 
Set Failed.
