Configuring and Monitoring Port Security

Port Security

Planning Port Security

1. Plan your port security configuration and monitoring according to the

following:

a. On which ports do you want port security?

b. Which devices (MAC addresses) are authorized on each port?

c. For each port, what security actions do you want? (The switch

automatically blocks intruders detected on that port from transmit-

ting to the network.) You can configure the switch to (1) send

intrusion alarms to an SNMP management station and to (2) option-

ally disable the port on which the intrusion was detected.

d. How do you want to learn of the security violation attempts the

switch detects? You can use one or more of these methods:

– Through network management (That is, do you want an

SNMP trap sent to a net management station when a port

detects a security violation attempt?)

– Through the switch’s Intrusion Log, available through the

CLI, menu, and web browser interface

– Through the Event Log (in the menu interface or through the

CLI show log command)

2. Use the CLI or web browser interface to configure port security operating

and address controls. The following table describes the parameters.
