Chapter 45 Configuring Port Security
Database Interaction
Copying the Port Security Database
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 synchronization 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.
