Port Security
The Port Security page allows you to stop the
MAC address learning for specific port. After
stopping MAC learning, only the MAC address
listed in Port Security List can access the
switch and transmit/receive traffic.
You can restrict what devices can access the
ES8509-XT management features. MAC
addresses added to the static MAC address
table can be authorized to access specified ports
on the switch.
When Port Security is enabled on any port, only
authorized MAC addresses are able to access
the management features of the ES8509-XT on
enabled ports. Ports with security disabled
block all attempts to access the ES8509-XT’s
management features. To globally disable port
security you must disable the feature on each
individual port.
The Port Security page allows you to enable Port Security and configure Port Security entry.
