Port security traps

The port security feature enables a device to learn a limited number of “secure” MAC addresses on an interface. The interface forwards only those packets with source MAC addresses that match the secure addresses. The following traps are generated, if the interface receives MAC addresses that are not included in its secure MAC list.

Note: The following traps apply to ports that have the port security feature enabled.
