Configuring Port Security with Manual Database Configuration
To configure port security and manually configure the port security database, perform this task:
Step 1 Enable port security.
See the “Enabling Port Security” section on page 24-5.
Step 2 Manually configure all port security entries into the configure database on each VSAN.
See the “Configuring Port Security with Manual Database Configuration” section on page 24-5.
Step 3 Activate port security on each VSAN. This turns on auto-learning by default.
See the “Disabling Auto-Learning” section on page 24-11.
Step 4 Disable auto-learn on each VSAN.
See the “Disabling Auto-Learning” section on page 24-11.
Step 5 Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration, which saves the port security configuration
database to the startup configuration.
Step 6 Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for all switches in the fabric.
Enabling Port Security

To enable port security using Fabric Manager, perform this task:
