Enabling or Disabling Port Security on a Layer 2 Interface
You can enable or disable port security on a Layer 2 interface. By default, port security is disabled on all
interfaces.
When you disable port security on an interface, all switchport port security configuration for the interface is
lost.
Before you begin
You must have enabled port security globally.
If a Layer 2 Ethernet interface is a member of a port-channel interface, you cannot enable or disable port
security on the Layer 2 Ethernet interface.
If any member port of a secure Layer 2 port-channel interface has port security enabled, you cannot disable
port security for the port-channel interface unless you first remove all secure member ports from the port-channel
interface.
