autoLearn configuration example

As shown in Figure 69, configure port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 on the device to meet the following requirements:

• Accept up to 64 users without authentication.

• Be permitted to learn and add MAC addresses as sticky MAC addresses, and set the secure MAC aging timer to 30 minutes.

• Stop learning MAC addresses after the number of secure MAC addresses reaches 64. If any frame with an unknown MAC address arrives, intrusion protection starts, and the port shuts down and stays silent for 30 seconds.

# Enable port security.

[Device] port-security enable

# Set the secure MAC aging timer to 30 minutes.

# Set port security's limit on the number of secure MAC addresses to 64 on port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

The output shows the following information:

• The port security's limit on the number of secure MAC addresses on the port is 64.

• The port security mode is autoLearn.

• The intrusion protection action is disabling the port (DisablePortTemporarily) for 30 seconds.

The port allows for MAC address learning, and you can display the number of learned MAC addresses in the Current number of secure MAC addresses field.

# Display additional information about the learned MAC addresses.
