Port status is Secure-down but connected

[Raven1314]

Hi,
The Cisco Switch port is secured-down with 1 violation count but the port security is disabled, however the port is still active and connected with green light. I have tried replug in the ethernet cable, shut & no shut and turned the port security on and off.

I'm trying to get the port secure-up again.
Let me know if any more information is needed and any advice would be grateful, Thanks.

Hi 
For "show port-security address" I do not see one for that port
I did show a "show mac address-table int gi0/4", the mac address is the same as Last Source Address:Vlan mac address

Hi
I did found another port with the same Mac address, so i cleared that and did a shut down and no shut down on Gi/04, it didn't make a difference. I will try unplug the ethernet and clear the address on that port as well

Edit:
I did the port-security dynamic interface Gi0/4 after shut down then no shut and on show Mac address-table it doesn't show that port any more. Last Source Address:Vlan still have a  mac address, i do need to unplug the cable and then do it?

Can you share port-secuirty mac table for that mac.

[Raven1314]

As in share show mac address-table content?

Show port-secuirty address 

That what i want to see

Hello,

Secure-down means port security is not enabled on the port. If you want to see Secure-Up you will need to enter the "switchport portsecurity" command on the interface.

Can you also "show int <int> switchport"

Oh Secure-down means there is not security?!
