Question

Options

• AThe address must be removed from the configuration.
• BThe address must reach the age limit that is configured for the interface.
• CThe interface must be converted to a routed port.
• DThe device must be restarted manually.
• EShutdown and then no shutdown must be run on the interface.

• A
  85% (33)
• B
  5% (2)
• D
  3% (1)
• E
  8% (3)

Explanation

When MAC addresses are statically configured under port security, they are written directly into the running configuration. Option A is correct: the only way to delete a statically secured MAC address is to explicitly remove it from the configuration using 'no switchport port-security mac-address <mac>'. Option C is correct: converting the interface to a routed port removes all Layer 2 features including port security, which clears all secured MAC entries. Option B (age limit) only applies to dynamically learned or sticky MAC addresses, not static ones - static entries do not age out. Option D (device restart) does not clear static MAC addresses since they persist in the saved configuration. Option E (shutdown/no shutdown) resets the interface but does not remove statically configured secured MAC addresses.
