Figure 6-6. Example of Adding a Second Authorized Device to a Port
(The message Inconsistent value appears if the new MAC address exceeds the
current Address Limit or specifies a device that is already on the list. Note that
if you change a port from static to continuous learn mode, the port retains in
memory any authorized addresses it had while in static mode. If you subse-
quently attempt to convert the port back to static mode with the same
authorized address(es), the Inconsistent value message appears
because the port already has the address(es) in its “Authorized” list.)
The Address Limit has not
been reached.
Although the Address
Limit is set to 2, only
one device has been
authorized for this port.
In this case you can add
another without having
to also increase the
Address Limit.
The Address Limit has been
reached.
