RE: MAC access list Vs. port security

The mac address list does not filter ip traffic; its used often with VACL's
to drop traffic at layer two.

The features do not overlap. Port security is concerned with what mac is
allowed on a port.

For MAC access-list, you need to know the range of permitted or denied
addresses beforehand.

For Port-Security, you can 'dynamic' learned or explicitly permit the
MAC addresses to stick to that port only.

If there is additional requirement to log or shut down the port during
a violation, then this is clearly 'port-security' direction.
