Solution

The command "switchport port-security" entered in an interface configuration mode enables port security function on the switch. This command is used to restrict the input to an interface by limiting and identifying MAC addresses of the stations allowed to access the port.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

  1. When you enter the command "switchport port-security" in an interface configuration mode, you are instructing the switch to enable port security on that specific interface.

  2. This command activates the port security feature, which allows you to specify a set of MAC addresses that are allowed to access the network through that port.

  3. Once the port security is enabled, you can then set up a violation mode (what action to take if a violation occurs), and specify the maximum number of allowed devices (MAC addresses) on that port.

So, in summary, the effect of the "switchport port-security" command is to enable the port security function (option c). However, it also sets the stage for setting up a violation mode (option a) and the number of allowed devices (option d). It is part of the process of enabling a switch access security (option b), but it is not the only command used for this purpose.
