Port Applications 
Port Security  
Port Security provides the ability to filter or accept traffic from specific MAC 
addresses. 
Port Security works by inspecting the source MAC addresses of received frames 
and validating them against the contents in the Static MAC Address Table (See 
Chapter 2 - Configuring MAC Address Management).  Unauthorized frames will be 
filtered and, optionally, the port that receives the frame shutdown permanently or 
for a period of time.  An alarm will be raised indicating the unauthorized MAC 
address (See Chapter 8 – Diagnostics). 
Unicast frames to unknown destination addresses will not be flooded through 
secure ports. 
The switch can also be programmed to learn and allow the first source MAC 
address encountered on the port.  This feature provides a convenient means for 
network administrators to “capture” the appropriate secure addresses when 
turning up a port.  The MAC address will be permanently added to the Static MAC 
Address Table. 
Note: 
Port security is applied at the edge of the network in order to restrict admission to 
specific devices.  Do not apply port security on core switch connections or where traffic types such 
as RSTP or IGMP are active.   
Broadcast Rate Limiting 
Broadcast rate filtering provides a means to limit the rate of broadcast frames 
accepted by each port.   
Broadcast rate filtering limits the severity of broadcast storms.
