A.
Interface FastEthernet 0/1 was configured with the switchport port-security aging command.

B.
Interface FastEthernet 0/1 was configured with the switchport port-security protect command.

C.
Interface FastEthernet 0/1 was configured with the switchport port-security violation restrict command.

D.
When the number of secure IP addresses reaches 10, the interface will immediately shut down.

E.
When the number of secure MAC addresses reaches 10, the interface will immediately shut down and an SNMP trap notification will be sent.

Explanation:

Port security is a feature supported on Cisco Catalyst switches that restricts a switch port to a specific set or number of MAC addresses. Those addresses can be learned dynamically or configured statically. The port will then provide access to frames from only those addresses. If, however, the number of addresses is limited to four but no specific MAC addresses are configured, the port will allow any four MAC addresses to be learned dynamically, and port access will be limited to those four dynamically learned addresses.
Port Security Implementation:

When Switch port security rules violate different action can be applied:
1. Protect: Frames from the nonallowed address are dropped, but there is no log of the violation.
2. Restrict: Frames from the nonallowed address are dropped, a log message is created, and a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap is sent.
3. Shutdown: If any frames are seen from a nonallowed address, the interface is errdisabled, a log entry is made, an SNMP trap is sent, and manual intervention or errdisable recovery must be used to make the interface usable. The port will not be shutdown, because it is in protect mode — not shutdown.

6 Comments on “which two security statements are true?

  1. Yerlan says:

    port won’t shut-down. it won’t accept frames from violating mac-address. your explanation says: “Protect: Frames from the nonallowed address are dropped, but there is no log of the violation.”

    It’s either exhibit is wrong or answers are wrong.

    Interface FastEthernet 0/1 was configured with the switchport port-security violation protect command, not what is on B – “Interface FastEthernet 0/1 was configured with the switchport port-security protect command”.

    1. Juri says:

      But in this case only Answer A and B are true.(with closed eyes for both mistake)

      I agree with Yerlan,
      Answer B with a mistake. there is missed word -violation-
      Cisco command is:
      SW1(config-if)# switchport port-security violation protect

      Answer A with a mistake also. there is missed word -time-
      You can use command with 0 min. It disabled Aging.
      SW1(config-if)# switchport port-security aging time 0

      In this case You can see
      Aging Time : 0 mins
      Aging Type : Absolute
      SecureStatic Address Aging : Disabled


      Why C is wrong:
      violation restrict command -> should be on the exhibit
      Violation Mode : Restrict


      Why D and E are wrong:
      Protected mode won’t shut down port, only drops packets.


      FYI

      There is
      Port Status : Secure-down
      It means port is administratively down, line protocol is down (disabled)

      But
      Port Status : Secure-shutdown
      It means err-disabled status during port-security violation shutdown
