Port Security information of Inter-IX

MAC Registration



Inter-IX ensures a reliable service by using Layer 2 access control lists. This feature allows only 1 MAC addresses that can will be learned behind a port, and drops frames with any other source MAC address than the original configured one. After being in the quarantaine VLAN this MAC address will be registered as valid MAC.

When a MAC changes, send us an email and we are happy to update your MAC address in our systems.

Port Flap Dampening


We implemented port flap dampening on all customer facing interfaces.
If a port transitions from an Up to a Down state and back more than three times in five seconds, the port is disabled. After 30 seconds it is automatically re-enabled.
