this is my configuration for the port : interface GigabitEthernet1/0/3
 switchport access vlan 234
 switchport mode access
 switchport voice vlan 245
 switchport port-security maximum 4
 switchport port-security
 switchport port-security violation restrict
 switchport port-security mac-address sticky
 switchport port-security mac-address sticky 0024.1d7e.5931
 switchport port-security mac-address sticky 6899.cd84.e97a vlan voice

Hello,

what platform is this on ?

What if you configure:

switchport port-security mac-address sticky 0024.1d7e.5931 vlan access

[balaji.bandi · Accepted solution]

here is working for config from switch : (changed only VLAN and your MAC)

switchport access vlan 234
 switchport mode access
 switchport voice vlan 245
 switchport port-security maximum 4

switchport port-security maximum 1 vlan access

switchport port-security maximum 1 vlan voice

 switchport port-security
 switchport port-security violation restrict
 switchport port-security mac-address sticky
 switchport port-security mac-address sticky 0024.1d7e.5931  <-- check the MAC Address again
 switchport port-security mac-address sticky 6899.cd84.e97a vlan voice   <-- check the MAC Address again

Let me know how it goes ?

problem is solved really appreciate your help .

I just want to ask what if I add maximum 2 ? as I need to restrict two devices only to connect on this interface

[Jurgens L]

The problem you normally have when having a maximum of 2 is that the phone got two ethernet ports, so you actually have three mac addresses if you count your PC into the equation.

Therefore, if I add maximum three it will be applicable ?

[balaji.bandi]

yes that do the job, any way even you allow more, you are already using Sticky with MAC address.

I'm little confused about this issue: if I sticky 2 mac address for example but maximum is 4 , that's mean if user connect addition device it will be allowed ?
