[c-nsp] Layer 2 security issue

Hi,

 

We are using Cisco 3550, 3560 for access and 4500 for the core.

 

All the ports of the users are port-secure enabled (switchport port-security
mac-address sticky).

 

We have enough cases where their ports get in err-disable status due to a
wrong MAC address source.

 

That mac address source is always the same for all cases that is: the mac
address of the default gateway of the users (vlan interfaces on 4500).

 

This means that the users are sending packets where the MAC address *source*
is the one of their default router.

 

An up to date antivirus scanning on those PCs did not lead anywhere.

 

Has anybody seen this recently?

 

Thank you.

 

Christophe
