Explanation

It blocks both if the MAC address is the source address and if the MAC address is the destination MAC Lockout involves configuring a MAC address on all ports and VLANs for a switch so that any traffic to or from the "locked-out" MAC address will be dropped. This means that all data packets addressed to or from the given address are stopped by the switch. MAC Lockout is implemented on a per switch assignment. You can think of MAC Lockout as a simple blacklist. The MAC address is locked out on the switch and on all VLANs. No data goes out or in from the blacklisted MAC address to a switch using MAC Lockout. To fully lock out a MAC address from the network it would be necessary to use the MAC Lockout command on all switches. To use MAC Lockout you must first know the MAC Address you wish to block.
