mac-address-table static command

saveway · ‎07-27-2004

I've a Catalyst 4507 switch(IOS : Version 12.1(13)EW1), and have to match one MAC address to specified port.

So I issued the command like this;

mac-address-table static 1111.2222.3333 vlan 100 int g1/1

But, the result was

4507#sh mac-add | inc 3333

100 1111.2222.3333 dynamic ip GigabitEthernet1/1

Why? Why did it appear as DYNAMIC?

I upgraded the IOS to Version 12.1(13)EW2 but the problem was same...

Why didn't the command mac-address... work properly?

Thanks in advance..
