Auto-learning
About Enabling Auto-learning
The state of the auto-learning configuration depends on the state of the port security feature:
• If the port security feature is not activated, auto-learning is disabled by default.
• If the port security feature is activated, auto-learning is enabled by default (unless you explicitly
disabled this option).
Tip If auto-learning is enabled on a VSAN, you can only activate the database for that VSAN by using the
force option.
Enabling Auto-learning
To enable auto-learning using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Expand a VSAN and select Port Security in the Logical Domains pane.
You see the port security configuration for that VSAN in the Information pane (see Figure 46-8).

• activate—Valid port security settings are activated.

• forceActivate—Activation is forced.
• forceActivate(TurnLearningOff)—Activation is forced and auto-learn is turned off.
• deactivate—All currently active port security settings are deactivated.
• NoSelection— No action is taken.
Step 4 Select one of the port security options for that switch.
