[Cisco] Sticky vs non sticky port security problem on 2950switches

[Kevork Krozian]

Hi David,

   Yes, the EA at the end of the IOS name means Enhanced image so yes both are running it. In any case the working IOS was EA2c  ( vs EA2  for the non working ) , but as I mentioned in the email, the working IOS was copied to the non working switch and it did not make the difference.

Regards
Kevork

Are both switches enhanced image.  I remember there being a problem with one
or two of the labs if you had a switch that didn't have the enhanced image,
but it's been a while since I've taught unit 3 at Kurunjang so I'm not sure
if it is that lab or not.

Cheers
David Waddell
