Chapter 19 Troubleshooting FC-SP, Port Security, and Fabric Binding
Fabric Binding Issues
Configuring Port Security with Autolearn Using the CLI
To configure port security with autolearn using the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use the port-security enable command to enable port security.
switch(config)# port-security enable
Step 2 Use the port-security distribute command to enable CFS distribution.
switch(config)# port-security distribute
Step 3 Use the port-security activate command to activate port security and enable autolearn.
switch(config)# port-security activate vsan 2
Step 4 If CFS distribution is enabled, use the port-security commit command to distribute these changes.
switch(config)# port-security commit vsan 2
Step 5 Use the no port-security auto-learn command in EXEC mode to disable autolearn after all entries have
been learned.
switch# no port-security auto-learn vsan 2
Step 6 If CFS distribution is enabled, use the port-security commit command to distribute these changes.
switch(config)# port-security commit vsan 2
Step 7 Use the port-security database copy command to copy the active database to the configure database.
This ensures that no learned entries are lost.
switch# port-security database copy vsan 2
Step 8 If CFS distribution is enabled, use the port-security commit command to distribute these changes.
switch(config)# port-security commit vsan 2
Step 9 Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration, using the fabric option. This saves the port
security configure database to the startup configuration on all switches in the fabric.
Fabric Binding Issues
This section describes troubleshooting fabric binding issues and includes the following topic:
• Switch Cannot Attach to the Fabric, page 19-16
• Cannot Activate Fabric Binding, page 19-18
• Unauthorized Switch Gains Access to Fabric, page 19-19
• Fabric Binding Settings Lost After Reboot, page 19-19
Note After correcting a fabric binding configuration issue, you do not have to disable the interface and
reenable it. The port comes up automatically after a fabric binding reactivation if the problem was fixed.
