“If enabled on a switch, outbound unknown unicast
packets will not be forwarded out this port. If
enabled on a repeater, outbound unknown unicast
packets for this port will be scrambled.
::= { hpSecurePortEntry 5 }
Blocking Unauthorized Traffic
Unless you configure the switch to disable a port on which a security violation
is detected, the switch security measures block unauthorized traffic without
disabling the port. This implementation enables you to apply the security
configuration to ports on which hubs, switches, or other devices are
connected, and to maintain security while also maintaining network access to
authorized users. For example:
HP Switch(config)# show port-security
