implemented on the Switch, for the selected group of ports. The options are:
•
Permanent – The locked addresses will not age out after the aging timer expires.

DeleteOnTimeout – The locked addresses will age out after the aging timer
expires.
•
DeleteOnReset – The locked addresses will not age out until the Switch has been

Click Apply to implement changes made.
A given ports’ (or a range of ports') dynamic
MAC address learning can be locked such that
the current source MAC addresses entered
into the MAC address forwarding table can
not be changed once the port lock is enabled.
Setting the Admin State pull-down menu to
Enabled, and clicking Apply can lock the
port.
Port Security is a security feature that prevents
unauthorized computers (with source MAC
addresses) unknown to the Switch prior to
locking the port (or ports) from connecting to
the Switch's locked ports and gaining access to
the network. To view this window, click
