Hello,
I have noticed that if I use shutdown as my parameter the security violation count works but if I use the parameter protect it does not increment the security violation counter? Is this normal or am I missing something?
Thank you in advance!

as a follow up question - if I use the protect mode, then how as an administrator would I know if something is plugged in that shouldn't

As far as I know, you wouldn't know. You'd have to use restrict mode instead -

Yep. The only difference between restrict and protect is that one increments counters and the other doesnt

I'm sure that the 'show port-security interface' command will indicate dropped frames, indicating a port violation.No longer an active member
