This tab displays the settings for locked MAC address. MAC Locking lets you lock a MAC address to a specific switch or port on a switch so that the end-system can only access the network from that port or switch. If the end-system tries to authenticate on a different switch/port, it is rejected or assigned a specific policy. You can add or edit MAC locks from the End-Systems tab.
| NOTE: | MAC Locking to a specific port on a switch is based on the port interface name (e.g. fe.5.1). If a switch
board is moved to a different slot in a chassis, or if a stack reorders itself,
this name changes and breaks the MAC Locking settings. |
