Configuring IEEE 802.1X
Parameter
Description
Only applicable when the 'Security' field has been set to 'Static
MAC'. Change the behaviour of the port to either sticky or non-
sticky.
If Sticky is 'Yes', MACs/Devices authorized on the port 'stick' to the
port and the switch will not allow them to move to a different
port.
If Sticky is 'No', MACs/Devices authorized on the port may move to
another port.
Shutdown Time
Synopsis:
1 to 86400 s or { Until reset, Don't shutdown }
Default:
Don't shutdown
Specifies for how long to shut down the port, if a security
violation occurs.
Status
Synopsis:
Any 31 characters
Describes the security status of the port.
NOTE
There are a few scenarios in which static MAC addresses can move:
• When the link is up/down on a
non-sticky
secured port
• When traffic switches from or to a
non-sticky
secured port
NOTE
Traffic is lost until the source MAC Address of the incoming traffic is authorized against the static
MAC address table.
