Chapter 24 Configuring Port Security
Auto-Learning
Displaying Port Security Violations
Port violations are invalid login attempts (for example, login requests from unauthorized Fibre Channel
devices). You can display a list of these attempts on a per-VSAN basis, using Fabric Manager.
To display port security violations, 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 Violations tab.
You see the port security violations for that VSAN.

About Enabling Auto-Learning
The state of the auto-learning configuration depends on the state of the port security feature:
• If the port security feature is not activated, auto-learning is disabled by default.
• If the port security feature is activated, auto-learning is enabled by default (unless you explicitly
disabled this option).
Tip If auto-learning is enabled on a VSAN, you can only activate the database for that VSAN by using the
force option.
