Solution

The port security violation mode that is enabled by default is the "Shutdown" mode. Here are the steps to understand this:

  1. Cisco switches have a feature called Port Security that allows you to secure your network by restricting the number of MAC addresses on a per-port basis.

  2. When a port security violation occurs, the switch can take one of three actions: Protect, Restrict, or Shutdown.

  3. Protect: This mode permits traffic from known MAC addresses and drops traffic from unknown MAC addresses, but it does not send a notification that a violation has occurred.

  4. Restrict: This mode permits traffic from known MAC addresses and drops traffic from unknown MAC addresses, but it sends a notification that a violation has occurred.

  5. Shutdown: This mode is the most secure. It permits traffic from known MAC addresses and immediately shuts down the port when a violation occurs. The port remains shut down until it is manually reopened.

  6. By default, Cisco switches are configured to use the Shutdown mode when a port security violation occurs. This is because it provides the highest level of security by completely disabling the port if an unauthorized device is detected.
