MAC Address Security Port Configuration screen

The MAC Address Security Port Configuration screens (

Figure 48

and

Figure 49

)

allow you to set or modify your MAC address port security configuration on a per
port basis.

To open the MAC Address Security Port Configuration screen:

Clear by Ports

This field clears the specified port (or ports) that are listed in the Allowed
Source Port(s) field of the MAC Address Security Table screen (see

“MAC

Address Security Table screens” on page 118

). When you specify a port (or

ports) to be cleared using this field, the specific port (or ports) will be cleared
for each of the entries listed in the MAC Address Security Table. If you totally
clear the allowed Source Port(s) field (leaving a blank field) for an entry, the
associated MAC address for that entry is also cleared.
