Port Security Database Copy

Tip We recommend that you issue the port-security database copy vsan command after disabling
auto-learning. 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.
