Implementing port security feature using SNMP protocol

Network security is an essential part of modern computer systems and networks. There are many aspects of security, but one of the modern features built in some network switches is port security -- a feature preventing network users from address spoofing, network flooding and unauthorized access through switching to another switch port. This feature is offered from some vendors, but usually it is part of the software of most advanced and expensive series switches. This paper aims to propose another implementation of port security features -- using the SNMP protocol.
