This MAC Locking tab displays a list of MAC addresses that are currently locked on all the devices in the current domain, and lets you add and remove addresses on the list. To access this tab, select either the My Network or the All Devices folder in the left-panel Network Elements tab, and click the MAC Locking tab in the right panel. You must click Retrieve to display the MAC Locking information in the table.
MAC Locking ensures that only a specific MAC address can access a port, and that traffic from any other MAC addresses will be discarded. See MAC Locking for more information.
