Setting the port security mode
Configuration prerequisites
Before you set a port security mode for a port, complete the following tasks:
 Disable 802.1X and MAC authentication.
 Set the port to perform MAC-based access control, and set the port authorization mode to auto.
 Check the port does not belong to any aggregation group.
The requirements above must be all met. Otherwise, an error message appears when you set a security
mode on the port. On the other hand, after setting a port security mode on a port, you cannot change
any of the configurations above.
 Before you configure the port to operate in autoLearn mode, set the maximum number of secure
MAC addresses allowed on a port.
NOTE:

 You cannot change the port security mode of a port with users online.
