Need A Graduation Project Idea, Please

I'll be direct. Port security. Most all new-ish switches have it and it can be used for a bunch of security and network control situations.

Its something most people "know about" but few know all the good tricks you can do with it.

Hi toddwoo,
Thanks for ur idea. but can u explian what do u mean of Port security and what can I do with it as a project, please?

Port security a function on a switch that allows you to control what each port can or cannot do. The two most common uses are to limit what MAC addresses can be used on that port, and to control how many mac addesses can be forwarded out a specific port.

A quick example for the first would be in a call center env. where the managers get access to the internet but the call center workers don't. Port security gives you a way to make sure only the managers pc is plugged into the port (vlan) that has internet access. And if anyone else dose it won't give you connectivity.

For the second example, same env lets say the manager is plugging a switch into his port and letting people plug into the switch to get access to ther internet. Limiting the number of MAC's with port security can eliminate this problem also...

That was a really nice idea. Thanks alot
