Fabric Binding Activation and Deactivation

Fabric binding maintains a configuration database (config database) and an active database. The config database
is a read-write database that collects the configurations that you perform. These configurations are only
enforced upon activation. This activation overwrites the active database with the contents of the config database.
The active database is read-only and is the database that checks each switch that attempts to log in.
By default, the fabric binding feature is not activated. You cannot activate the fabric binding database on the
switch if entries existing in the config database conflict with the current state of the fabric. For example, one
of the already logged in switches might be denied login by the config database. You can choose to forcefully
override these situations.
