Designers want an AP switchport to shut if someone swaps the AP for a soft-AP phone bridge. What design intent does a port-security violation shutdown express?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If a phone pretends to be the AP, port security should slam the port shut—that is the design intent. Auto-widening trunks or ignoring MAC swaps helps the attacker.
Full Explanation
Port-security violation responses such as shutting the AP port protect against unauthorized device swaps, including soft-AP or phone bridges replacing a trusted AP. That design intent preserves physical attachment integrity on civic switch drops. Ignoring MAC changes, inviting new MACs, or expanding trunks on violation works against that protection.
