[brian25]

Hi everyone, i am new to cisco technology. i am try to configure port security on a cisco switch sg250 using putty. But i keep getting an error of "% Wrong number of parameters or invalid range, size or characters entered" when i entered "switchport port-security". Below is the command i entered

configure terminal (success)
interface gi7 (success)
switchport mode access (success)
switchport port-security (error) % Wrong number of parameters or invalid range, size or characters entered

Can anyone help me with this.

Thanks in advance

Hi Brian, 

try below commands,

Switch(config)#interface fa0/1
Switch(config-if)#switchport port-security

 or 

Use the switchport port-security mac-address command to define the MAC address that you want to allow.

regards,

Hi Brian

Not sure if you can do that on a SG250 via CLI but take a look at this article, I think it will help you.

Is there a way to do this in the command line?

Hello,

from the command line, the commands are:

port security [forward | discard | discard-shutdown] [trap seconds]
no port security

port security mode {max-addresses | lock | secure permanent | secure delete-on-reset}
no port security mode

Check page 124 of the CLI Guide linked below:
