i have a 2950-12 cisco switch,
and i am trying to use switchport port-security command to secure my little lan.
my switch port fa0/1 connects to a hub,and there are 3 computers connect to the hub, and the hub connects to a router which provides internet access.
i want to assign a static mac address which is the router's mac to my switch port fa0/1, so i can prevent those 3 computers access my lan.
i typed commands in my switch:
sw(config-if)#switchport port-security maximum 1
sw(config-if)#switchport port-security violation shutdown
sw(config-if)#switchport port-security mac-address aaaa.bbbb.cccc
from my understanding, my switch mac-address-table will only have router's mac which i assigned.
however, it turned out there are 3 more mac addresses associated with port fa0/1
why is this happening?
by the way, the router functions as dhcp and dns as well, is there any association with dhcp broadcast request those computers send? results in my switch fa0/1 has more mac addresses
