Figure 3-5. Security Config Dialog Box
Auto Save enables or disables the saving of changes to the active security
set in the switch non-volatile security database.
Enable Auto Save to save changes to the active security set in
non-volatile memory on the switch. If Auto Save is disabled, changes
to the active security set are saved only to temporary memory and any
updates from remote switches are not saved locally. If the local switch
is reset, it may become isolated. Enable Auto Save when Fabric
Binding is enabled.
Enable Fabric Binding Enabled to enforce World Wide Name and
domain ID matching with other switches in the same ISL group. This
prevents unauthorized switches from accessing the fabric. For
information about specifying domain IDs for ISL group members, see
“Creating a Security Group Member” on page 3-12.
