Chapter 24 Configuring Port Security
Port Security Activation
Forcing Port Security Activation
If the port security activation request is rejected, you can force the activation.
Note If you force the activation, existing devices are logged out if they violate the active database.
To forcefully activate the port security database using Fabric Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Expand a VSAN and then choose Port Security in the Logical Domains pane.
You see the port security configuration for that VSAN in the Information pane.
Step 2 Click the Actions tab.
Step 3 In the Action column under Activation, choose the switch or VSAN on which you want to activate port
security and choose the forceactivate option.
Step 4 Choose the Action field you want for that switch.
Step 5 Click the CFS tab and in the command column choose commit for all participating switches in the
VSAN.
Step 6 Click Apply Changes in Fabric Manager to save these changes.
Database Reactivation
Tip If auto-learning is enabled, and you cannot activate the database, you will not be allowed to proceed.
To reactivate the port security database using Fabric Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Disable auto-learning.
Step 2 Copy the active database to the configured database.
Tip If the active database is empty, you cannot perform this step.
Step 3 Make the required changes to the configuration database.
Step 4 Activate the database.
