Port Security

Port security is a feature that allows you to configure a switch port with one
or more device Media Access Control (MAC) addresses that are authorized
to access the network through that port.
When port security is enabled on a port, the switch stops learning new
MAC addresses on the specified port. Only incoming traffic with source
addresses already stored in the dynamic or static address table are accepted
as authorized to access the network through that port. If a device with an
unauthorized MAC address attempts to use the switch port, the intrusion is
detected and the switch can automatically take action by disabling the port
and sending a trap message.
To use port security, first allow the switch to dynamically learn the <source
MAC address, VLAN> pair for frames received on a port for an initial
period, and then enable port security to stop address learning. Be sure you
enable the learning function long enough to ensure that all valid VLAN
members are registered on the selected port.

The no form command disables the HTTPS server.
