How can we have more than 1 MAC address associated with a single port.

Are hubs the only way??

Appreciate any links to documentation if any.

thanks

Multiple MAC addresses per port, under normal conditions, indicate connectivity to a hub or a switch on that port. There can be other reasons though, like someone trying to flood the CAM table of your switch by generating frames with varying source MACs. IP phones with PC ports will show two MACs on the port they connect to on the switch but then again such IP phones are kind of small switches.
