MAC Table Learning
If the learning mode for a given port is grayed out, another module is in control of the mode, so that it cannot be

Static Mac Table before changing to secure learning mode, otherwise the
management link is lost and can only be restored by using another
non-secure port or by connecting to the switch via the serial interface.
