Enabling port security
Enabling or disabling port security resets the following security settings to the default:
802.1X access control mode is MAC-based, and the port authorization state is auto.
Port security mode is noRestrictions.
When port security is enabled, you cannot manually enable 802.1X or MAC authentication or change the access control mode or port authorization state. The port security automatically modifies these settings in different security modes.
You cannot disable port security when online users are present.
Before enabling port security, disable 802.1X and MAC authentication globally.
