Just a quick add to the response below.
If you configure 'switchport port-sec max 5', Five macs will be dynamically
learned. If you reboot, they will be lost. However, if you add the
'sticky' command, they will stay after reboot.
Good Luck on the 21st!

Hi, Darren,
A static mac entry is saved in running-configure, as well as startup-config
if you copy runing to startup-config. It will not be lost after reboot.
I did the following at cat 3560.
interface FastEthernet0/20
switchport mode access
switchport port-security
switchport port-security mac-address 0050.04fd.9f73
After reboot, the above configuration is still in Fa0/20.
You can try it on your lab. It is simple.
