Locking The Fabric; Committing The Changes; Discarding The Changes - Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring Port Security

Locking the Fabric

The first action that modifies the existing configuration creates the pending database and locks the feature in
the VSAN. Once you lock the fabric, the following situations apply:
• No other user can make any configuration changes to this feature.
• A copy of the configuration database becomes the pending database.

Committing the Changes

If you commit the changes made to the configurations, the configurations in the pending database are distributed
to other switches. On a successful commit, the configuration change is applied throughout the fabric and the
lock is released.
To commit the port security configuration changes for the specified VSAN, perform this task:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. switch# configuration terminal
2. switch(config)# port-security commit vsan vsan-id
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action
Step 1 switch# configuration terminal
Step 2 switch(config)# port-security commit vsan vsan-id

Discarding the Changes

If you discard (abort) the changes made to the pending database, the configuration remains unaffected and
the lock is released.
To discard the port security configuration changes for the specified VSAN, perform this task:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. switch# configuration terminal
2. switch(config)# port-security abort vsan vsan-id
