Hub behavior

Default

All addresses are allowed

Description

The source-address command allows you to specify a MAC address that will be the only traffic source for a specific port. In other words, only network traffic from the specified mac-address will be allowed on the port. By default, traffic from all MAC addresses is accepted on all hub ports.

Example

The following commands restrict the traffic forwarded to port 0 of hub 4 to traffic with the source Ethernet address of 00:00:0c:ff:d0:04.

hub ethernet 0 4
   source-address 0000.0cff.d004
