
Warning – Avaya recommends that autosave is disabled when sticky mac is enabled. Otherwise
the switch will be constantly saving the configuration when learning new MAC addresses in the
MAC Security table. If autosave is disabled it is important to remember to manually save the
config prior to any switch restart.
Avaya-ERS-Switch(config)# no autosave enable
Avaya-ERS-Switch(config)# write memory (save config, copy config nvram or copy
config nvram block <1-2> also works)
