The Security for Port(s) page is shown in Figure 161.

Figure 161. Security for Port(s) Page

The Security for Ports page displays a table that contains the following
columns of information:

Port
The number of the port.

Security Mode
The active security mode on the port. The possible settings are
Automatic, Limited, Secured, and Locked.

Intruder Action
The column specifies the action taken by the switch if a port receives
an invalid packet. The possible settings are:

Discard - The port discards invalid packets. This is the default.

Trap - The port discards invalid packets and sends a trap. This action
applies only to the Limited security mode.

Trap/Disable - The port discards invalid packets, sends a trap, and
disables the port. This action applies only to the Limited security mode.

Participating
This column applies only when the intrusion action for a port is set to
trap or disable. This option does not apply when intrusion action is set
to No Action (discard). If this option is set to No when intrusion action
is set to trap or disable, the port discards invalid packets, but it does
not send a trap or disable the port.

MAC Limit
This column specifies the maximum number of dynamic MAC
addresses the port learns. It only applies when a port is operating in
the Limited security mode.
