ip phone mac address changed and back again

Hello Bro,

             I have a case here that confused us here.

a switch port with connected ip phone in a voice vlan and pc connected through the ip phone in access vlan.

everyhting is going well but last night at 5:38AM "where no one in the office" this port went into errdiable state and the log was ...

<186>14483: May 24 2022 05:38:08: %PORT_SECURITY-2-PSECURE_VIOLATION: Security violation occurred, caused by MAC address 0024.9733.822d on port GigabitEthernet1/0/28.

....

we are pretty sure no one was at the office to connect a violating device.

from the log and port configuration we can see the the actual ip phone mac address mostly similar to the violating mac address.

the ques. is that. is it possible for the device or the port to suddenly recieve a mac address that is not configured physically on the device ? check the below SHOWs for more details.

 

port config as follow:

-------------------------

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/28
description To PC and IP phone
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
switchport nonegotiate
switchport voice vlan 5
switchport port-security maximum 2

switchport port-security mac-address sticky

switchport port-security mac-address sticky 509a.4c31.c1f9

end

Hi

 Check if the switch time is correct.  The most probably cause is someone connected another phone on this port.  Which IP phone is it? 

I dont believe it can espontaniously change its mac address.

the switch is is correct, checked it

check if some one plug Ip phone PC port to other SW port?

Thatā€™s not very likely. From what I know a phone would not all of a sudden change the MAC address.

Ok, according to the books, mac address soesn't change just by itself we totally agree.

But, I noticed the port suffered from 6 FCS errors. Could these errors cause this sudden mac address change? How can i check the  times "if possible" of these errors? If occurence time met with the violation event time it will mean something? Offices are closed in this very early time to think of mistakenly plugged device.
