Updated: Secure Port Setup For Cisco2950

Before Campus Manager can use port security to disable a MAC address,
the Switch must be configured for port security.

Example configuration:

The switch is a Cisco 2950, with multiple vlans, VLAN ID's 1,2,3. The
clients that will potentially be disabled are all connecting via VLAN 2.
VLAN 2 is on ports 6-18 and port 18 is a port where clients cannot
connect (i.e a printer may be connected there, or the port is reserved).

For Campus Manager to work, the port on VLAN 2 where clients cannot
connect, port 18 must be enabled as a secure port. The CLI commands to
do this are:

enable
configure terminal
interface fastEthernet 0/18
switch mode access
switchport port-security
switchport port-security maximum 120
end

You can verify that the port is secure with the following command

show port-security

Secure Port MaxSecureAddr CurrentAddr SecurityViolation Security

                     (Count) (Count) (Count)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Fa0/18 120 0 0 Shutdown
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Addresses in System : 0
Max Addresses limit in System : 1024

Note: The switch must also be a member of the "Physical Address
Filtering" Group within Campus Manager.

Once this is complete users can disable clients connected to the switch
on VLAN 2.
