The difference between Protect and Restrict port security violation modes in Cisco switches is as follows:

a. This statement is incorrect. Neither Protect nor Restrict mode shuts down the port. That action is associated with the Shutdown violation mode.

b. This statement is also incorrect. As mentioned above, neither Protect nor Restrict mode shuts down the port.

c. This statement is correct. In Restrict mode, the switch discards offending traffic (traffic from unknown MAC addresses) but allows all other traffic. Protect mode also discards offending traffic but does not generate a log message or SNMP trap.

d. This statement is incorrect. Protect mode does not send a Syslog message. That action is associated with the Restrict and Shutdown violation modes.

e. This statement is incorrect. Both Protect and Restrict modes discard offending traffic.

f. This statement is correct. Restrict mode sends a Syslog message when a violation occurs, while Protect mode does not.
