Locking Source Addresses
When Source Address Locking is enabled, it puts into place a number of security
measures designed to protect your hub from unauthorized access. Depending on
the revision of firmware installed on your EMM-E6 and the kinds of MIMs in the
hub, locking ports can provide a number of different protections, including secure
address assignment, trunk port locking, configurable violation response, both
eavesdrop and intruder protection, multi-level locking modes, and new
definitions for station and trunk ports: station ports are those detecting zero, one,
or two source addresses; trunk ports are those detecting three or more.
Enabling port locking from the Source Address List window activates all
applicable security protections, as configured via the Security application
(described in Chapter 7 of this guide).
To enable or disable Source Address Locking:
1. Click mouse button 1 on the appropriate option in the Source Address Lock
field.
2. Click mouse button 1 on to set your new lock status.
NOTE
If your EMM-E6 firmware does not support the Hash Type feature, this field will be
unavailable.
NOTE
Since the multi-level locking feature cannot be implemented from the Source Address List
window, locking ports from this window will apply Full lock status by default to any
ports which are currently unlocked. Any ports which are already in Continuous lock
mode, however, will remain so. For more information on these lock modes and other
security features, see Chapter 7, Security.
