• userLogin—Specifies 802.1X authentication and port-based access control.
• macAddress—Specifies MAC authentication.
• Else—Specifies that the authentication method before Else is applied first. If the authentication fails,
whether to turn to the authentication method following Else depends on the protocol type of the
authentication request.
• Or—Typically, in a security mode with Or, the authentication method to be used depends on the
protocol type of the authentication request.
• userLogin with Secure—Specifies 802.1X authentication and MAC-based access control.
• Ext—Indicates allowing multiple 802.1X users to be authenticated and serviced at the same time. A
security mode without Ext allows only one user to pass 802.1X authentication.
Controlling MAC address learning
autoLearn
A port in this mode can learn MAC addresses and allow frames from learned or configured MAC
addresses to pass. The automatically learned MAC addresses are secure MAC addresses. You can also
configure secure MAC addresses by using the port-security mac-address security command. A secure
MAC address never ages out by default.
When the number of secure MAC addresses reaches the upper limit, the port transitions to secure mode.
