Chapter 46 Configuring Port Security
Database Interaction
Port Security Database Copy
Tip We recommend that you copy the active database to the config database 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.
To copy the active database to the configuration database, using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Expand a Fabric, expand a VSAN and then select Port Security in the Logical Domains pane.
Step 2 Click the Actions tab. You see all the configuration databases.
Step 3 Select the appropriate configuration database and check the Copy Active to Config checkbox.
Step 4 Click the Apply Changes icon to save your changes.
To view the differences between the active database and the configuration database using Fabric
Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Expand a Fabric, expand a VSAN and then select Port Security in the Logical Domains pane.
You see the Port Security information in the Information pane.
Step 2 Click the Database Differences tab. You see all the configuration databases.
Step 3 Select the appropriate configuration database. Select the Active or Config option to compare the
differences between the selected database and the active or configuration database.
Step 4 Click the Apply Changes icon to save your changes.
Port Security Database Deletion
Tip If the distribution is enabled, the deletion creates a copy of the database. An explicit deletion is required
to actually delete the database.
To delete a port security database using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Expand a Fabric, expand a VSAN and then select Port Security in the Logical Domains pane.
You see the Port Security information in the Information pane.
Step 2 Click the Config Database tab. You see all the configuration databases.
Step 3 Select the appropriate configuration database and click the Delete Row button.
Step 4 Click Ye s if you want to delete the configuration database.
