port security / prevent learning mac address

Hello,

Is there a cisco feature that will learn a mac address on a port, and
then refuse to learn that mac address from any other source? I have a
small number of some critical network devices that I'd like to make sure
cannot have their mac addresses spoofed or usurped due to loops or other
network causes. How would this work? I have a 3560 with ipbase software.

Mike-

Hi,
The simple answer is no.
You can look into the sticky-mac feature but that is per-port. You could technically accomplish what you want by enabling sticky-macs on every edge-port but not only does it not-scale, it becomes an administrative nightmare.

The best method would be to isolate those devices on a single vlan and use port security for everything on that vlan.
