When I set up a static secure mac-address on a 3550 the configuration
doesn't show up under the running config but under doing a show mac- the
addresses show up correctly as static and survive rebooting the switch.
Where do the static secure addresses save on the switch?
I also ran across a Cisco doc that says:
You can configure MAC addresses to be sticky. These can be dynamically
learned or manually configured, stored in the address table, and added
to the running configuration. After these addresses are saved in the
configuration file, the interface does not need to dynamically relearn
them when the switch restarts. Although you can manually configure
sticky secure addresses, this action is not recommended.

f/port_sec.htm#wp1139579
Is the reason the author is recommending not manually configuring sticky
addresses that they can be seen in the running config or something
deeper?
