Enable Port security

configure terminal

interface fast ethernet (port)

switchport mode access =>change dynamic to access mode

switchport port-security =>enable port security

switchport port-security mac-address sticky =>remember mac-address

switchport port-security maximum 1 =>only allow 1 mac address

switchport port-security violation shutdown =>shutdown if detect other mac

Enable faster convergence of switch

For port assign to PC, remember to enable portfast so that it will not be involve in the spanning tree re-calculation

configure terminal

interface fast ethernet (port)

spanning-tree portfast

Stop those translating time

If you do not have DNS enable. You can stop those annoying translating time when you accidentally hit enter when typing anything

configure terminal

no ip domain-lookup
