Hello All I try now for days the apply the sticky command on my Catalyst 2950 switch The command which I try to apply is: Switch(config-if)#switchport port-security mac-address- sticky
When I do this I get this reply: Switch(config-if)#switchport port-security mac-address sticky ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
Why does the switch not accept this command? I did a search and almost everywhere this command is mentioned.
Hope somebody has an explanation for me
regards Herman
What you are seeing is an error from the IOS parser indicating that the command is not accepted. Some possibilities are
a) this command may not be supported in the version of IOS that you are running b) you may not be applying this command on the right interface type. c) you may need to issue some other commands prior to issuing the sticky command.
Post your "show version" output and also "show running" for the interface on which you are trying to apply the command.

here is the show version of the router with ios info: Switch_A#sh version Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software IOS (tm) C2950 Software (C2950-I6Q4L2-M), Version 12.1(9)EA1, RELEASE SOFTWARE ( fc1) Copyright (c) 1986-2002 by cisco Systems, Inc.

I think the problem is the IOS?
12.1(9)EA1 does seem rather old but I am not able to find out easily if the sticky command is supported in this release. It could well be that the IOS version does not support that command.
Could you also post "show running" for the interface where you are trying to apply the sticky command?
