Secure MAC Movement

If you move a connected device that has MAC address configured as secure on one port to another port, the FastIron device connects through the new port without waiting for the MAC address to age out on the previous port. This MAC movement feature is supported when the connected device moves from a secure port to another secure or non-secure port.

MAC movement feature is not supported in the following cases:

  • MAC address is permanently secured to a port with age 0 command.
  • MAC address causes a MAC security violation on the previous port.
Note: Excessive Syslog messages are expected when MAC movement happens on permanently secured MAC address. Use the no logging buffered warnings command to suppress warning Syslogs.
