Mac security on baystack

[nnukdead]

Hi,

Have some BS450 configured with mac security. Needed to add a new device and once it was attached its mac address naturally appeared in the device manager security violation table. Configured the mac into the Authconfig list ok, it appears in the Authstatus list as ok but is still in the mac violation table If you telnet into the box and look at this table its not there, only in DM ?? tried a CTRL Z in the mac violation table with telnet but no joy.....

How do i get around this issue ? as this device is not allowed on the switch, would re-setting the switch clear the mac violation table in DM ??

Many thanks Chris

i think you have to clear the violation from the port to allow the device to communicate again.

Thanks for that, sorry for being dumb but what do i need to do exactly........

try:
mac-security disable port N/N
mac-security enable port N/N

Hi...This BS450-24T is on sw 4.5.1.2 and does not have a CLI option, I have however using the menu system, Switch Configuration, Mac addressed based security disabled/ enabled the offending port but it still appears in the DM Mac violation table but not on the telnet system info.....strange

I believe you need to remove (disable the port or disconnect the device) the violating device, create the entry in the AuthConfig table and then you can re-connect the new device. You may need to wait 60 seconds for the entry to age out (that's the default aging timer I believe).

Good Luck!
