Package lps

The AOS Learned Port Security (LPS) provides a mechanism for authorizing source learning of MAC addresses on Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports. LPS supports Ethernet ports but not link aggregate and tagged (trunked) link aggregate ports.
LPS control of source MAC address learning provides the following benefits:
  • A configurable source learning time limit that applies to all LPS ports.
  • A configurable limit on the number of MAC addresses allowed on an LPS port.
  • Dynamic configuration of a list of authorized source MAC addresses.
  • Static configuration of a list of authorized source MAC addresses.
  • Two methods for handling unauthorized traffic: stopping all traffic on the port or only blocking traffic that violates LPS criteria.
