Port Security Commands
These commands can be used to disable the learning function or manually specify
secure addresses for a port. You may want to leave port security off for an initial
training period (i.e., enable the learning function) to register all the current VLAN
members on the selected port, and then enable port security to ensure that the port
will drop any incoming frames with a source MAC address that is unknown or has
been previously learned from another port.
port security
This command enables or configures port security. Use the no form without any
keywords to disable port security. Use the no form with the appropriate keyword to
restore the default settings for a response to security violation or for the maximum
number of allowed addresses.
