Chapter 13 PORT SECURITY

13.1 Introduction to PORT SECURITY

Port security is a MAC address-based security mechanism for network access controlling. It is

an extension to the existing 802.1x authentication and MAC authentication. It controls the

access of unauthorized devices to the network by checking the source MAC address of the

received frame and the access to unauthorized devices by checking the destination MAC

address of the sent frame. With port security, you can define various port security modes to

make that a device learns only legal source MAC addresses, so as to implement

corresponding network security management. After port security is enabled, the device detects

an illegal frame, it triggers the corresponding port security feature and takes a pre-defined
action automatically. This reduces user’s maintenance workload and greatly enhances system

security.
