Committing the Changes
Committing the Changes
If you commit the changes made to the configurations, the configurations in the pending database are distributed
to other switches. On a successful commit, the configuration change is applied throughout the fabric and the
lock is released.
To commit the port security configuration changes for the specified VSAN, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# port-security commit vsan 3
Commits the port security changes in the specified VSAN.
Discarding the Changes
If you discard (abort) the changes made to the pending database, the configuration remains unaffected and
the lock is released.
To display the CFS lock information, use the show cfs lock command. For more information, see the Cisco
MDS 9000 Family Command Reference.
To discard the port security configuration changes for the specified VSAN, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# port-security abort vsan 5
Discards the port security changes in the specified VSAN and clears the pending configuration database.
Activation and Auto-learning Configuration Distribution
Activation and auto-learning configurations in distributed mode are remembered as actions to be performed
when you commit the changes in the pending database.
Learned entries are temporary and do not have any role in determining if a login is authorized or not. As such,
learned entries do not participate in distribution. When you disable learning and commit the changes in the
