Configuring Learned Port Security Configuring an Authorized MAC Address Range
OmniSwitch 6600 Family Network Configuration Guide April 2006 page 3-9
Configuring an Authorized MAC Address Range
By default, each LPS port is set to a range of 00:00:00:00:00:00–ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, which includes all MAC
addresses. If this default is not changed, then addresses received on LPS ports are subject only to the
source learning time limit and maximum number of MAC addresses allowed restrictions for the port.
To configure a source MAC address range for an LPS port, enter port-security followed by the port’s
slot/port designation, then mac-range followed by low and a MAC address, then high and a MAC
address. For example, the following command configures a MAC address range for port 1 on slot 4:
-> port-security 4/1 mac low 00:20:da:00:00:10 high 00:20:da:00:00:50
To configure a source MAC address range for multiple ports, specify a range of ports or multiple slots. For
example:
-> port-security 4/1-5 mac-range low 00:20:da:00:00:10 high 00:20:da:00:00:50
-> port-security 2/1-4 4/5-8 mac-range low 00:20:d0:59:0c:9a high
00:20:d0:59:0c:9f
To set the range back to the default values, enter port-security followed by the port’s slot/port designa-
tion then mac-range. Leaving off the low and high MAC addresses will reset the range back to
00:00:00:00:00:00 and ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. For example, the following command sets the authorized MAC
address range to the default values for port 12 of slot 4:
-> port-security 4/12 mac-range
In addition, specifying a low end MAC and a high end MAC is optional. If either one is not specified, the
default value is used. For example, the following commands set the authorized MAC address range on the
specified ports to 00:da:25:59:0c:10–ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff and 00:00:00:00:00:00–00:da:25:00:00:9a:
-> port-security 2/8 mac-range low pp:da:25:59:0c
-> port-security 2/10 mac-range high 00:da:25:00:00:9a
