Port Security Database Copy
Tip
We recommended that you issue port-security database copy vsan command after disabling
autolearning. This action will ensure that t the configuration database is in sync with the active database.
If distribution is enabled, this command results in acquire of temporary copy (and consequently a fabric
lock) of the configuration database. If you lock the fabric, you need to commit the changes to the
configuration database of all the switches.
