Re: Duplicate printer IP address
One last thing. We can tell a switch to only learn 1 mac address for a port or several macs. If an unauthorized device is plugged in, we can use 3 different violation modes:
1. Shut down - the port is shutdown and an admin must turn back on.
2. Protect - This simply mean that the switch will not put anymore mac addresses in its CAM table and no packets will be forwarded except on authorized devices. Protect mode doesn't generate an alert message or email.
3. Restrict - Lets only authorized mac addresses communicate on the network and generates alert messages and logs. (it keeps a daily log of port activity. )
