Committing the Changes
If you commit the changes made to the configurations, the configurations in the pending database are
distributed to other switches. On a successful commit, the configuration change is applied throughout
the fabric and the lock is released.
Activation and Auto-learning Configuration Distribution
Activation and auto-learning configurations in distributed mode are remembered as actions to be
performed when you commit the changes in the pending database.
Learned entries are temporary and do not have any role in determining if a login is authorized or not. As
such, learned entries do not participate in distribution. When you disable learning and commit the
changes in the pending database, the learned entries become static entries in the active database and are
distributed to all switches in the fabric. After the commit, the active database on all switches are identical
and learning can be disabled.
If the pending database contains more than one activation and auto-learning configuration when you
commit the changes, then the activation and auto-learning changes are consolidated and the behavior
may change (see Table 46-3).
Table 46-3 Scenarios for Activation and Auto-learning Configurations in Distributed Mode
Scenario Actions Distribution = OFF Distribution = ON
A and B exist in the
configuration
database,
activation is not
done and devices
C,D are logged in.
1. You activate the port
security database and
enable auto-learning.
configuration database = {A,B}
active database = {A,B, C
1
, D*}
configuration database = {A,B}
active database = {null}
pending database = {A,B + activation to
be enabled}
2. A new entry E is
added to the
configuration
database.
configuration database = {A,B,
E}
active database = {A,B, C*, D*}
configuration database = {A,B}
active database = {null}
pending database = {A,B, E + activation
to be enabled}
3. You issue a commit. Not applicable configuration database = {A,B, E}
active database = {A,B, E, C*, D*}
pending database = empty
