MAC port security configuration

Brocade devices do not support the reserved-vlan-id num command, which changes the
default VLAN ID for the MAC port security feature.

The SNMP trap generated for restricted MAC addresses indicates the VLAN ID associated with
the MAC address, as well as the port number and MAC address.

MAC port security is not supported on ports that have multi-device port authentication
enabled.

The first packet from each new secure MAC address is dropped if secure MAC addresses are
learned dynamically.

MAC port security configuration

To configure the MAC port security feature, perform the following tasks:

Enable the MAC port security feature

Set the maximum number of secure MAC addresses for an interface

Set the port security age timer

Specify secure MAC addresses

Configure the device to automatically save secure MAC addresses to the startup-config file

Specify the action taken when a security violation occurs

Enabling the MAC port security feature

By default, the MAC port security feature is disabled on all interfaces. You can enable or disable the
feature on all interfaces at once, or on individual interfaces.

To enable the feature on all interfaces at once, enter the following commands.

Brocade(config)# port security
Brocade(config-port-security)# enable

To disable the feature on all interfaces at once, enter the following commands.

Brocade(config)# port security
