QuestionQ1340

Network Access

A network administrator has enabled port security on a switch interface that is connected to a printer. What configuration step should be performed next so the port can learn the printer's MAC address automatically and place it into the table?

  • A enable dynamic MAC address learning
  • B implement static MAC addressing
  • C enable sticky MAC addressing
  • D implement auto MAC address learning
Explanation

With switch port security, the setting that automatically learns the connected device’s MAC address and adds it to the secure MAC address table is sticky MAC addressing. On Cisco switches, this is configured with the port-security MAC address sticky option, which lets the interface learn the printer’s MAC and retain it as a secure address rather than requiring manual static entry.
