MANAGING MAC MOVES WITH SECURE PORT GROUPS

摘要

A method includes determining that a source MAC address is associated with a particular port that is a member of a secure group (34, 36) of ports (1-14) of a network edge device (20, 50). A move of the source MAC address to any port of the network edge device (20, 50) that is a member of the secure group of ports is allowed. Moves of the MAC address to any port of the network edge device (20, 50) that is outside the secure group of ports are disallowed. An apparatus and at least one computer-readable medium for implementing the method also are described.
