switch MAC address table Query

[knaik99]

If on L3 core switch of LAN network,I am learning MAC by static method and there is no dynamic learned MAC then what is the meaning of that?

Can we confirm that there is no Vlan configured on any port of switch?

#sh mac address-table vlan 2
Mac Address Table
-------------------------------------------

Vlan Mac Address Type Ports
---- ----------- -------- -----
All xxxx.xxxx.xxxx STATIC CPU
till 20 MAC

All XXXX.XXXX.XXXX STATIC CPU
Total Mac Addresses for this criterion: 20

These are used for traffic that is destined for the switch itself as opposed to transient traffic.

static MAC addresses can be assigned as multicast addresses. 

static MAC address can be manually assigned 

You might be using port security as well.

If I am not learning any MAC dynamically means Vlan is not used at access layer right?

Hello @knaik99 ,

if you are using port security the MAC addresses are stored in a separate table and considered STATIC as noted by @Mohsin Alam .

20 STATIC MAC addresses in a VLAN are unlike you should see just one STATIC CPU for the SVI. In your case it is likely that port security is applied.

Hope to help
