Port Security Setting
Port security is a feature that allows you to configure a switch port with a maximum number of MAC addresses
that are authorized to access the network through that port. When port security is enabled on a port, 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
as authorized to access the network through that port. If a device with an unauthorized MAC address attempts to
use the switch port, the intrusion will be detected and the switch can automatically take a specified action.
