Command Usage

• If you enable port security, the switch stops learning new MAC

addresses on the specified port when it has reached a configured
maximum number. Only incoming traffic with source addresses
already stored in the dynamic or static address table will be accepted.

• First use the port security max-mac-count command to set the

number of addresses, and then use the port security command to
enable security on the port.

• Use the no port security max-mac-count command to disable port

security and reset the maximum number of addresses to the default.

• You can also manually add secure addresses with the

mac-address-table static command.

• A secure port has the following restrictions:

• Cannot use port monitoring.
• Cannot be a multi-VLAN port.
• Cannot be connected to a network interconnection device.
• Cannot be a trunk port.

• If a port is disabled due to a security violation, it must be manually

re-enabled using the no shutdown command.

Example
The following example enables port security for port 5, and sets the
response to a security violation to issue a trap message:
