CHAPTER 6: ACCESS CONSIDERATIONS CONFIGURING PORT SECURITY THROUGH THE COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
MULTILINK ML1600 ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 6–3
6.2 Configuring Port Security through the Command Line Interface
6.2.1 Commands
To configure port security, login as a level 2 user or as a manager. Once logged in, get to
the port-security configuration level to setup and configure port security with the following
command syntax:
configure port-security
port-security
For example, using the
configure port-security command:
ML1600# configure port-security
ML1600(port-security)##
Alternately, the port-security command can also be used to enter the port-security
configuration mode:
ML1600# port-security
ML1600#(port-security)##
From the port security configuration mode, the switch can be configured to:
1. Auto-learn the MAC addresses.
2. Specify individual MAC addresses to allow access to the network.
3. Validate or change the settings.
The command syntax for the above actions are:
allow mac=<address|list|range>
port=<num|list|range>
learn port=<number-list> <enable|disable>
show port-security
action port=<num|list|range>
<none|disable|drop>
signal port=<num|list|range>
<none|log|trap|logandtrap>
ps <enable|disable>
remove mac=<all|address|list|range>
port=<num|list|range>
signal port=<num|list|range>
<none|log|trap|logandtrap>
Where the following hold:
•
allow mac - configures the switch to setup allowed MAC addresses on specific
ports
•
learn port - configures the switch to learn the MAC addresses associated with
specific port or a group of ports
•
show port-security - shows the information on port security programmed or
learnt
•
action port - specifies the designated action to take in case of a non
authorized access
•
ps - port security - allows port security to be enable or disabled
