Security

Click mouse button 1 on

to save your changes; the new status

will be displayed in each field to the right of the field name. Click on

to exit the window.

Module-level Security and Traps

Locking ports at the module level applies all applicable protections (as configured
via the Port Security window) to each port on the selected module or modules.

To enable or disable locking and/or traps at the module level:

In the Repeater Security window, click to select the appropriate repeater
interface in the scroll list.

Click mouse button 1 on

; the Channel X Module Security

window,

Figure 7-6

, will appear. Note that the current module-level settings

are displayed in the list box; a repeater whose ports have different Security
Mode or Trap settings will display a status of “Mismatch.”

NOTE

If you select a group of modules 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.

Note, too, that if you are configuring locking or traps for a TPXMIM in multi-channel
mode, the settings applied via the module window will only apply to those ports
communicating on the channel selected in the main Security window.
