This tab displays a list of MAC addresses that are currently locked in a device group, a Policy VLAN Island, or a Network Resource Topology Island, and lets you add and remove addresses on the list. To access this tab:
- select a device group in the left-panel Network Elements tab
- select a VLAN island in the left-panel of the Access Control Configuration window (available from the Policy Manager Edit menu)
- select a topology island in the left panel of the Network Resource Configuration window (available from the Policy Manager Edit menu)
and click the MAC Locking tab in the right panel. To populate the table, click Retrieve.
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.
