port-security with voice vlan "Sticky"

[kfarrington]

Guys,

I have the following :

Why does the Cisco 7960 phone NOT put a sticky mac address automatically under the switchport, just the PC does?

It seems to work, but am not sure why.

Also, I dont require "maximum macs" to be set to 3 do I? Like when you use Avaya?

Many thx indeed,

Ken

the normal procedure is to set max mac-address to 3 for port security

Hi there :)

Well I read this all the time, but my Cisco IPTs work with the setting of only two, and if I increase the maximum to 3, is this not creating a security hole?

Many thx for the reply and look forward to more comments :))

Thx

You have to do 3 because when the phone first boots up in goes into the default VLAN, not the voice VLAN. Once CDP kicks in, it goes into the voice VLAN

Umm. still a tad confused as all of my phones are working, as SecureDynamic and my PCs are SecureSticky, but I did configure the port-sec after the phone had been booted.

I think I will need to take a walk to where the phones are and power cycle the phone, to see if it breaks?

Will get back to you shortly :))

Cheers to all

Ken

Cisco Foundation Learning Guide pg 347 - "switchport port-security mac-address sticky" command cannot be used on ports where voice VLANs

are configured...(although the book does not elaborate as to why not...)
