commit the changes, the activation and auto-learning changes are consolidated and the resulting
operation may change (see

Database Merge Guidelines
A database merge refers to a union of the configuration database and static (unlearned) entries in the
active database. See the
When merging the database between two fabrics, follow these guidelines:
