Creating a Secure Port by Adding a MAC Address Object
To configure port security, you must use an address object to bind MAC address(es) to an interface. You can
create an address object from within the procedure described below, or use an existing one. For more
information about address objects, see the SonicOS 5.7 Administrator’s Guide.
To create a secure port by adding a MAC address object to an interface, perform the following steps:
Step 1 On the Switching > Port Security page, click the Add button at the bottom of the page. The Add Static MAC
Address window opens.
Step 2 Select the desired interface from the Port drop-down list. This will be the secure port.
Step 3 If the address object that contains the desired MAC addresses already exists, select it from the MAC
Address drop-down list and skip to Step 10.
Step 4 To create a MAC address object, select Create new address object from the MAC Address drop-down
list. The Add Address Object window opens.
Note Turn off the pop-up blocker in your browser before selecting Create new address object.
Step 5 Type a descriptive name for the address object into the Name field.
