They apply to scenarios that require both802.1X authentication and MAC authentication. For scenarios that require only 802.1Xauthentication or MAC authentication, you are recommended to configure 802.1Xauthentication or MAC authentication rather than port security for simplicity.Port Security OverviewIntroductionPort security is a security mechanism for network access control. It is an expansion to thecurrent 802.1X and MAC authentication.Port security allows you to configure a port to operate in an intended security mode tocontrol the MAC address learning or user authentication on the port. This enables theswitch to learn legal source MAC addresses, so as to implement network securitymanagement as needed.
