Configuring Port Security
The auto-learned entries from every switch are combined into a static active database that is distributed to all switches.
Step 8
Copy the active database to the configure database on each VSAN.
Step 9
Issue a CFS commit to copy this configuration to all switches in the fabric.
This ensures that the configure database is the same on all switches in the fabric.
Step 10
Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration, using the fabric option.
