Click the Config Database tab. You see the configured port security settings for that VSAN. Click the row you want to delete. Click Delete Row. You see the confirmation dialog box. Click Yes to delete the row, or click No to close the confirmation dialog box without deleting the row. Click the Apply Changes icon to save these changes. Port Security Configuration Distribution The port security feature uses the Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) infrastructure to enable efficient database management, provide a single point of configuration for the entire fabric in the VSAN, and enforce the port security policies throughout the fabric (see Chapter 13, "Using the CFS Infrastructure"). This section includes the following topics: • Enabling Distribution, page 46-19 • Locking The Fabric, page 46-20 • Committing the Changes, page 46-20 • Activation and Auto-learning Configuration Distribution, page 46-20 Enabling Distribution All the configurations performed in distributed mode are stored in a pending (temporary) database. If you modify the configuration, you need to commit or discard the pending database changes to the configurations. The fabric remains locked during this period. Changes to the pending database are not reflected in the configurations until you commit the changes. Note Port Activation or deactivation and auto-learning enable or disable do not take effect until after a CFS commit if CFS distribution is enabled. Always follow any one of these operations with a CFS commit to ensure proper configuration. See the "Activation and Auto-learning Configuration Distribution" section on page 46-20. Tip In this case, we recommend that you perform a commit at the end of each operation: after After you activate port security and after you enable auto learning. To enable distribution 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 46-9). OL-16184-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide 46-19
