Troubleshooting port security

Cannot set the port security mode

Symptom
Cannot set the port security mode.
[Device-Ethernet1/0/1] port-security port-mode autolearn
Error:When we change port-mode, we should first change it to noRestrictions, then change
it to the other.
Analysis
For a port operating in a port security mode other than noRestrictions, you cannot change the port
security mode by using the port-security port-mode command directly.
Solution
Set the port security mode to noRestrictions first.
[Device-Ethernet1/0/1] undo port-security port-mode
[Device-Ethernet1/0/1] port-security port-mode autolearn

Cannot configure secure MAC addresses

Symptom
Cannot configure secure MAC addresses.
[Device-Ethernet1/0/1] port-security mac-address security 1-1-2 vlan 1
Error: Security MAC address configuration failed.
Analysis
No secure MAC address can be configured on a port operating in a port security mode other than
autoLearn.
Solution
Set the port security mode to autoLearn.
[Device-Ethernet1/0/1] undo port-security port-mode
[Device-Ethernet1/0/1] port-security max-mac-count 64
[Device-Ethernet1/0/1] port-security port-mode autolearn
