1. An aggregated networking device subsystem station move control system, comprising:
a second aggregated networking device; and
a first aggregated networking device that is aggregated with the second networking device to provide an aggregated networking device subsystem, wherein the first aggregated networking device is configured to:
receive, from the second aggregated networking device, an address that was learned on a non-aggregated port included on the second aggregated networking device, that has port security enabled, and that is configured as a station-move-deny port;
provide, in the first aggregated networking device, address information that is configured to cause the generation of a move violation when data packets that include the address are received on ports that are not directly connected to the second aggregated networking device; and
provide for the association of the address with a port that is not directly connected to the second aggregated networking device and that has port security disabled in response to a data packet being received on that port and generating a move violation.
