Hi Godswill,

Thanks for the clarification.I was trying to simulate the
information conveyed in the statement made in univercd.

*Sticky *secure MAC addresses*These can be dynamically learned or manually
configured, stored in the address table*, and added to the running
configuration. If these addresses are saved in the configuration file, when
the switch restarts, the interface does not need to dynamically reconfigure
them.

Do you feel ,the two scenarios mentioned by me exactly simulate the above
statement ?

Thanks
With regards
Suryakant
