Hi Bola

Thanks for the response. Take a look below, I happen to have a client
network that I can take info from:

This is the show arp on the AP, it shows the MAC of the AP:

Internet 172.16.254.131 - 000f.903e.3ae7 ARPA BVI1

This is the show mac-address-table of the switch that the AP connects
to:

RCI-GND-SW-2#show mac-address-table interface fastEthernet 0/47

          Mac Address Table

-------------------------------------------

Vlan Mac Address Type Ports

---- ----------- -------- -----

   1 000f.903e.3ae7 DYNAMIC Fa0/47

Total Mac Addresses for this criterion: 1

So, it shows that the MAC of the AP is learned by the switch and would
count as a secure address. Not sure if this proves anything though.

Hi Duane,

I believe the solution is right based on the following. The AP is a
swicth, except that it is a wireless swicth (in quote). As a result it
does not forward its own mac-address when forwarding datagrams through
it to the network. Only a router replaces the originating mac-address
with its own when forwarding packets received on one interface out
another to the network.

So IEWB solution is right.

Or am I missing something group?

        Hi Group

        Lab 18 requires only one person to be able to use an AP by using
        port-security. The recommended solution is 'violation protect'
and
        'mac-address sticky'.

        If the default maximum mac-addresses is 1 then the only
mac-address that
        will be allowed is the mac of the AP itself. Shouldn't the
maximum be
        changed to 2 to allow the mac of the AP as well as the mac of
the one
        person?

        Regards
