Has anybody here has in use the Netgear GS752TXS (52 Port Stackable Smart Switch with 10GE uplink) with port security active?
I would like to activate port security on specific ports to allow only one specific device (MAC) on this port. That´s what I understand from "port security" here and should be possible with this device - according to the documentation.
If I activate port security, I have to options: lock down the number of dynamically learned addresses - or the number of statically learned adresses. Lock dynamically learned makes nearly no sense. It´s possible to prevent somebody to plug in a switch in between - buts thats it. The problem with dynamically learned adressing is that all dynamic entries are aging (default 300s - then they are renewed or lost) AND if you plug in a device into another port, the entry is also updated to the other port and the entry of the old port is lost. So limiting the dynamic entries on a specific port to "1" does not help here. Since if somebody plugs in his device in another port the "locked" port is free for reassignment :-(
The problem with "static assignment": If you assign a MAC address to the port statically, it works in first line.... the port won´t accept another MAC/device....
BUT the device also cannot be plugged in into another port! It´s limited to this specific port. That´s not what I exactly want... :-(
I really would like to have ports to accept just specific MACs and some ports to support multiple ports (like meeting rooms etc).
Does anybody know if thats possible with this device?
Another good thing would be the possibility to specify a list of allowed MAC addresses all over the switch and block all other.... but I don´t think this is possible....
