Switch Management Chapter 4
MAC ID Management Use the MAC ID Management feature to authorize or deauthorize MAC
addresses. The MAC ID Management tab displays the following:
• Learned MAC Addresses area—Lists MAC addresses detected on the
network by the 1783-EMS switch. The port number and MAC ID are
shown for each device detected on the network. This list is built
automatically by the 1783-EMS switch.
• Authorized MAC Addresses area—This list indicates which MAC
addresses are allowed on the network. You must create this list.
Whenever a new device comes online, this list is checked to determine
if the device is authorized. If the device is not authorized, an input is
sent to the switch’s controller. See
Appendix D for the I/O table of the
switch.
