Configuring Security Features 4 - 11
Defining a MAC Address Manually
The Security Module provides you with the flexibility of manually adding
MAC addresses into a port's MAC address table, and into the Autolearning
Database. You may use this feature to add one or more MAC addresses to
a port MAC address table instead of Autolearning a port's associated MAC
addresses.
Note: If you are using a TRMM to manage the Security Module,
you must use this command in order to add MAC addresses
to a port MAC address table. (The TRMM does not support
Autolearning.)
For example, once Autolearning Capture has completed and the MAC
addresses are downloaded, a new station may be added to the network.
You can add the new station's MAC address to a port's MAC address table
using the SET SECURITY PORT MAC_ADDRESS command.
Issue the following command to add the MAC address 08-54-6f-01-32-08 to
the MAC address table for port 1 on the module in slot 3.
ONline> set security port 3.1 mac_address 08-54-6f-01-32-08 [ENTER]
Note: MAC addresses 00-00-00-00-00-00 and FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF are
invalid.
Use the following command to add the MAC address 08-54-6f-01-32-08 into
the Autolearning database. This command specifies that port 1 on the
Security Module in slot 3 is associated with the MAC address
08-54-6f-01-32-08.
ONline> set security autolearn 3.1 mac_address 08-54-6f-01-32-08 [ENTER]
