Yes I believe it is.

e.g.

#int f0/1
#switchport mode access
#switchport port-security
#switchport port-security max 1
#switchport port-security mac sticky
#switchport port-security violation shutdown

Just had a quick check for you, definately supported:

Switch(config-if)#int f0/1
Switch(config-if)#switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)#switchport port-security
Switch(config-if)#switchport port-security ?
mac-address Secure mac address
maximum Max secure addresses
violation Security violation mode

Depends on which version you are using version 4 doesn't but Packet Tracer 5 does

Thanks
I do understand that commands are there but does it actually shuwtdown the port in case of violation ?

please see below, I defined port security on a port and than connected a PC end device (with a different mac) to that port, the pc's mac appeared in mac table but it did not shut down the port ?

In one of our pt assignments at school it didn't work for us either, so instaid of another PC we used another switch and that triggered it.

zobo88

neither does PT Supports commands like show interfaces status and show port-security (without any arguments)

am having similar problems with access lists also

Im using PT 5.3.2 and it works. Once you connected the new device, you need to generate a traffic for it to trigger port security violation. At least on my experience, it wont just shutdown the port just because I connected another device. Soon as I sent a ping, the port was shut-down.

EDIT:

forgot one last thing, you need to type "switchport port-security" to actually enable port security. I just tested it on PT 5.3.2.

thnx though am still not clear where to type "switchport port-security"

You want to type this on the interface that you want to enable switchport security for. This command enables the security feature.
