5308xl--port-security question

I have a 5308xl connected to a 4104gl.

I want to prevent anyone disconnecting the backbone from the remote switch, connecting a host, and accessing my network. Therefore, I would want the my 5308xl port to disable if a device other than the 4108gl was connected directly.

Will the port-security command allow me to do this?

I am trying to figure out the complete syntax, and if this is the correct approach.

It does appear that it will work. Set up the 5308 as the authenticator and the 4108 as supplicant.

On Both switches:

Steps 1 -4 on page 6-11 in the security guide.

Then 5308 Step 1, 3 & 6 on page 6-12 7 on 6-13.

On the 4108 Do page 6-36.
