Configuring Security
Configurable violation response
You can still choose to allow ports to remain enabled even after an unsecured 
address has attempted to access a locked port. If you choose not to disable a port 
which has experienced a violation, however, the port’s only response to an 
intruder will be to issue a trap after the first violation; all packets, regardless of 
source address, will be allowed to pass.
Forced non-secure status
With the enhanced version of 
LANVIEW
SECURE
, even ports on non-
LANVIEW
SECURE
 MIMS can be forced to an unsecurable status (as long as they 
are currently unlocked). 
Learned addresses reset
You can still use the Reset Learned Addresses option in the repeater-, board-, or 
port-level Security window to clear all learned and secured addresses out of the 
selected port(s) address table, and allow that port to begin learning (and securing) 
new addresses. Note that you cannot reset learned addresses on a locked port or 
on a port which is designated unsecurable.
Eavesdrop protection (scrambling), trunk port locking, continuous lock mode, 
and the floating address cache are not available for non-
LANVIEW
SECURE
 MIMs 
(A-channel MIMs and non-
LANVIEW
SECURE
 RIC MIMs) or for any 
LANVIEW
SECURE
 TPXMIM ports configured to operate on Channel A.
