Configuring Learned Port Security Interaction With Other Features
OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Network Configuration Guide December 2017 page 33-9
• All MAC addresses learned on the port.
• The management status for the MAC address entry; configured or dynamic.
If the LPS port is shut down or the network device is disconnected from the port, the LPS table entries and
the source learning MAC address table entries for the port are automatically cleared.
To view the contents of the LPS table, use the show port-security command. Refer to the OmniSwitch
AOS Release 8 CLI Reference Guide for more information about this command.
Interaction With Other Features
This section contains important information about how the Learned Port Security (LPS) functionality
interacts with other OmniSwitch features. Refer to the specific chapter for each feature to get more
detailed information about how to configure and use the feature.
Access Guardian
LPS is one of the Access Guardian security functions that helps to ensure that only certain devices are
allowed to connect to the switch. The LPS functionality is used to control which MAC addresses are
allowed on a switch port.
Universal Network Profile (UNP)
Access Guardian is configured and applied through the framework of the UNP feature. UNP is enabled on
switch ports to activate Access Guardian functionality that is used to authenticate and classify users into
UNP profiles. LPS is supported on UNP-enabled ports.
• When both of these features are enabled on the same port, UNP first authenticates and classifies any
MAC addresses received, then LPS rules are applied. If a MAC address violates any of the LPS rules
for the port, the address may get filtered or the port violated even if UNP initially determined the
address was valid. In other words, LPS rules take precedence over UNP to determine if a MAC address
is bridged or filtered on the port.
• When UNP is enabled on any one LPS port, the LPS learning window parameter options are not
supported on all LPS-enabled ports. This is because the learning window configuration is global and
applies to all LPS ports.
For more information about LPS on UNP ports, see Chapter 47, “Learned Port Security Commands.”
