Retention of Static Addresses

Static MAC addresses do not age-out. MAC addresses learned by using learn-
mode continuous or learn-mode limited-continuous age out according to the
currently configured MAC age time. (For information on the mac-age-time
command, refer to the chapter titled "Interface Access and System Informa­
tion" in the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.
Learned Addresses. In the following two cases, a port in Static learn mode
retains a learned MAC address even if you later reboot the switch or disable
port security for that port:
■ The port learns a MAC address after you configure the port for Static learn
mode in both the startup-config file and the running-config file (by exe­
cuting the write memory command).
The port learns a MAC address after you configure the port for Static learn
■
mode in only the running-config file and, after the address is learned, you
execute write memory to configure the startup-config file to match the
running-config file.
To remove an address learned using either of the preceding methods, do one
of the following:
Delete the address by using no port-security < port-number > mac-address
■
< mac-addr >.
Download a configuration file that does not include the unwanted MAC
■
address assignment.
■ Reset the switch to its factory-default configuration.
Assigned/Authorized Addresses. : If you manually assign a MAC address
(using port-security <port-number> address-list <mac-addr>) and then execute
write memory, the assigned MAC address remains in memory until you do one
of the following:
Delete it by using no port-securit y < port-number > mac-address < mac-addr >.
■
Download a configuration file that does not include the unwanted MAC
■
address assignment.
■ Reset the switch to its factory-default configuration.
