Use the Port Security Configuration screen to enable and configure port 
security for the switch. Port Security allows you to configure each port 
with a list of MAC addresses of devices that are authorized to access the 
network through that port. 

Port Number

The port number on the unit.

Status

Port security can be set to three states; Enabled, Disabled, 

or Learning. When set to Enabled, the switch will drop 

packets from the port if the source MAC address does not 

match one of the addresses in the MAC Address list. If set 

to Learning, the switch will add the source MAC address of 

all packets received on the port to the authorized MAC 

Address list.

MAC Address List

A list of the current authorized MAC addresses that can 

access the network through the specified port.

MAC Address

A specific MAC address to be added or deleted from the 

list. A MAC address must be entered as 12 hexadecimal 

digits in the format “000000-000000” or “000000000000” 

to be correctly accepted by the system.

Add

Adds a new MAC address to the current list.

Remove

Removes a MAC address from the current list.

Clear All

Clears all the MAC addresses for the current port.
