good day people,
how can I prevent other switches from connecting to my switch physical. I need something like portsecurity, detecting other switches or HUBs, then block the port in that situation......

Percy,
First and more important you might want to shut down all unused ports on your switch to prevent people from connecting unauthorized equipment. Then you can start thinking about port security.
You can refer to the following configuration guide for port security:
Also, you might want to check the following post about best practices for cisco switches:

Hope this helps.

you can use those two features
- port security with MAX mac address
- BPDU Guard
the violation action can be shut down the port or send log msg for example
