Port security implements dynamic binding. After the maximum number of MAC addresses that can be learned by an interface is set, other non-trusted hosts cannot use the local interface to communicate with the switch, thereby improving the device and network security.

# Configure port security on the gigabitethernet0/0/1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port-security enable

# Set the maximum number of MAC addresses that can be learned by the gigabitethernet0/0/1 to 5.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port-security enable
[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port-security max-mac-num 5

NOTE:

Before setting the maximum number of MAC addresses that can be learned by an interface, ensure that the interface has been enabled with port security.

Yes, you will receive this kind of trap:
