no MAC address on switch port

[Wassim Aouadi]

Hi,

There 's a Cisco IP phone that sits between a PC and the switch port. On the switch port, no MAC address is learned. However, the switch is able to detect the IP phone and deliver power to it:

TNSWACCS04A1#sh power inline fa1/0/13

Interface Admin  Oper       Power   Device              Class Max

                            (Watts)

Fa1/0/13  auto   on         5.0     IP Phone 7911       2     15.4

any idea?

Switch is Catalyst 3750 with IOS version  12.2(58)SE1

I found it.

The command I was typing is "show mac address-table dynamic interface...". However, in this situation, MAC addresses are statically learned via port-sec sticky feature:

TNSWACCS04A1#sh mac add dynamic int fa1/0/13

Total Mac Addresses for this criterion: 2

issue solved.
