Actions drop-down menu.
Step 6 Check the AutoLearn check box and click Apply Changes to enable autolearn.

Table 19-8 Merge Fails
Symptom Possible Cause Solution
Merge fails Activation or autolearn configuration in
the separate fabrics do not match.
Disable autolearn. See the “Disabling Autolearn Using
Fabric Manager” section on page 19-13 or the “Disabling
Autolearn Using the CLI” section on page 19-13.
Combined port security database
contains more than 2047 entries.
Delete the port security database in one of the fabrics and
then relearn the entries after the fabrics merge. See the
“Configuring Port Security with Autolearn Using Fabric
Manager” section on page 19-14 or the “Configuring Port
Security with Autolearn Using the CLI” section on
page 19-15.
