Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly try the steps below on how to configure Port Security based on MAC Address on the M4100-24G-POE+ (GSM7224P) switch:
1. On the web-GUI of the GSM7224P switch, go to Switching > Address Table > Advanced > Static MAC Address.
2. Add a static MAC address entry.
a. Use Interface to select the physical interface or LAG.
b. Use the Static MAC Address field to input the MAC address
c. Select the VLAN ID associated with the MAC address.
d. To add a new static MAC address to the switch, click the ADD button.
e. To delete a static MAC address from the switch, click the DELETE button.
3. On the web-GUI of the GSM7224P switch, go to Security > Traffic Control > Port Security > Port Administration..
4. Select Enable on Port Security Mode then click Apply.
5. On the web-GUI of the GSM7224P switch, go to Security > Traffic Control > Port Security > Interface Configuration.
6. Specify the following settings:
a. Security Mode. Enables or disables the port security feature for the selected interface.
b. Max Allowed Dynamically Learned MAC. Sets the maximum number of dynamically learned MAC addresses on the selected interface.
c. Max Allowed Statically Locked MAC. Sets the maximum number of statically locked MAC addresses on the selected interface.
d. Violation Traps. Enables or disables the sending of new violation traps designating when a packet with a disallowed MAC address is received on a locked port.
7. Click Apply.
Hope it helps.

Your guide, however, conditions me to know or otherwise register each MAC on a certain port. I have a large LAN and cannot afford such work. I want the port to learn the MAC I enter the first time and then no other MACs to avoid security breaches.
