Configuring and Monitoring Port Security

Reading Intrusion Alerts and Resetting Alert Flags

Figure 9-17. Example of the Intrusion Log with Multiple Entries for the Same Port

The above example shows three intrusions for port A1. Since the switch can
show only one uncleared intrusion per port, the older two intrusions in this
example have already been cleared by earlier use of the

clear intrusion-log or

the

port-security < port-list > clear-intrusion-flag command. (The intrusion log

holds up to 20 intrusion records, and deletes intrusion records only when the
log becomes full and new intrusions are subsequently added.) The “

prior to

text in the record for the third intrusion means that a switch reset occurred
at the indicated time and that the intrusion occurred prior to the reset.

To clear the intrusion from port A1 and enable the switch to enter any
subsequent intrusion for port A1 in the Intrusion Log, execute the port-security

clear-intrusion-flag command. If you then re-display the port status screen, you
will see that the Intrusion Alert entry for port A1 has changed to “

No”.

(Executing

show port-security intrusion-log again will result in the same display

as above, and does not include the Intrusion Alert status.)
