Port Security Database Copy
We recommend that you copy the active database to the config database after disabling auto-learning.
Tip
This action will ensure that the configuration database is in sync with the active database. If distribution
is enabled, this command creates a temporary copy (and consequently a fabric lock) of the configuration
database. If you lock the fabric, you need to commit the changes to the configuration databases in all the
switches.
To copy the active database to the configuration database, using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Expand a Fabric, expand a VSAN and then select Port Security in the Logical Domains pane.
Step 1
Click the Actions tab. You see all the configuration databases.
Step 2
Select the appropriate configuration database and check the Copy Active to Config checkbox.
Step 3
Click the Apply Changes icon to save your changes.

Step 3
