Simple port security
Hello there my name is Peter. I would like a function to be added to these series of switches that prevents a rouge user to connect equipment to any port and gain access to the network or disturb/bring it down with maybe a CAM overflow attack. It would work such that if an unreasonable amount of connection attempts with different mac adresses occurs - it disables that port or something. A better idea would be to use DHCP snooping in the switch so we could enter allowed MAC and IP adresses in the router instead. I know that switches like GS108Tv2 probably supports this however there is no GS105T small 5-port version available so I am forced using GS105Ev2 instead which is a nice little switch indeed. If DHCP snooping is too complex maybe you could add a little menue instead so we could enter a couple of MAC adresses allowed on each port. Thanks sincerely Peter
