Symptom

NXOS is 6.2(6), 1, the initial configuration is such as : n7k-3(config-if)# sh run int e4/14 !Command: show running-config interface Ethernet4/14 !Time: Wed May 7 10:14:34 2014 version 6.2(6) interface Ethernet4/14 switchport switchport port-security mac-address 1111.1111.1111 <<<<<< 2, then I enabled the port-security and put it into a none-existed vlan, an error came out. n7k-3(config-if)# switchport access vlan 13 n7k-3(config-if)# switchport port-security n7k-3(config-if)# switchport port-security mac-address 1111.1111.1111 ERROR: ACCESS vlan is not in active state 3, however, the configuration is at there, and can't be removed via 'no ' even create vlan 13. n7k-3(config-if)# sh run int e4/14 version 6.2(6) interface Ethernet4/14 switchport switchport access vlan 13 switchport port-security switchport port-security mac-address 1111.1111.1111 n7k-3(config-if)# no switchport port-security mac-address 1111.1111.1111 ERROR: ACCESS vlan is not in active state n7k-3(config)# vlan 13 n7k-3(config-vlan)# exit n7k-3(config)# int e4/14 n7k-3(config-if)# n7k-3(config-if)# no switchport port-security mac-address 1111.1111.1111 n7k-3(config-if)# n7k-3(config-if)# n7k-3(config-if)# sh run int e4/14 !Command: show running-config interface Ethernet4/14 version 6.2(6) interface Ethernet4/14 switchport switchport access vlan 13 switchport port-security switchport port-security mac-address 1111.1111.1111

Conditions

' switchport port-security mac-address xxxx.xxxx.xxxx ' was in port configuration before putting the port into an non-existed vlan.

Workaround

using 'default interface ex/y' can wiped it out.
