Hi All:

Command rejected: Not eligible for secure port

Thanks in advance

The reason you see this error message is because in a 2950 the port first needs to be set to an access port and then only port-security can be turned on.

Switch(config)#int fa0/1

Switch(config-if)#switchport port-security

Command rejected: Not eligible for secure port.

Solution:

Switch(config-if)#switchport mode access

Switch(config-if)#switchport port-security
