Adds Port Security section to the Admin Guide
Added a short "Disabling port security" section to the admin guide. The section describes the use case for the port security extension and how to use it in practice. Change-Id: Ia263fd1a77a9884a159127389a0f5fcd8bd6798f Closes-Bug: #1330849

Disabling port security
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Security groups and anti-spoofing rules can be problematic for some
|
||||
applications. MAC anti-spoofing prevents applications from sending or receiving
|
||||
packets with source or destination addresses that do not match the configured
|
||||
address of a port. For example, multicast packets use a multicast group address
|
||||
as the destination address rather than the address of the virtual machine.
|
||||
While all security groups can be removed from a port, disabling MAC
|
||||
anti-spoofing requires the port security extension.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
- By default port security is enabled on every port.
|
||||
|
||||
- All security groups must be removed from a port before disabling port
|
||||
security.
|
||||
|
||||
This table shows example neutron commands to selectively disable or enable
|
||||
port security for a single port:

||||

||||

* - Operation
|
||||
- Command
|
||||
* - Disable port security on a port.
|
||||
- .. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
$ neutron port-update --port-security-enabled=False PORT_ID
|
||||
* - Enable port security on a port.
|
||||
- .. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
$ neutron port-update --port-security-enabled=True PORT_ID
|
||||
|
||||
Port security can also be disabled when a port is created using
|
||||
``port_security_enabled`` attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``port_security_enabled`` attribute can also be used at the network level
|
||||
to disable port security by default for all ports in a specific network.
