Port Security
You can configure web-based authentication and port security on the same port. Web-based
authentication authenticates the port, and port security manages network access for all MAC addresses,
including that of the client. You can then limit the number or group of clients that can access the network
through the port.
For more information about enabling port security, see the “Configuring Port Security” section on
page 23-8.
