Why each option
To simplify administration while maintaining MAC address security for devices that might move between ports, "sticky" MAC address security should be used.
Sticky MAC address security dynamically learns MAC addresses connected to a port and then "sticks" them to the configuration, making them persistent entries. This is ideal for environments where devices might move between ports, as it automatically adapts while still enforcing security by remembering allowed MACs.
Static MAC address security requires manually configuring each MAC address for each port, which is labor-intensive and doesn't simplify administration when devices move.
Aging is a mechanism to remove dynamic MAC addresses from the CAM table after a period of inactivity, which is not a security setting for port access.
Maximum is a setting that defines the maximum number of MAC addresses allowed on a port; it does not dictate how those MAC addresses are learned or become persistent for security.
