Forceful Port Security Activation
If the auto-learn option was enabled before the activation, reactivate the database.If the database
activation is rejected due to one or more conflicts listed in the previous section, you may decide to
proceed with the activation by using the forceActivate option.
See the “Activating the Port Security Database” section on page 31-10.
Note An activation using the forceActivate option logs out existing devices if they violate the active database.
Database Reactivation
Tip If the auto-learn option is enabled and you activate the database, you will not be allowed to proceed.
To reactivate the database using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Disable auto-learning.
Step 2 Copy the active database to the configured database.
Tip If the active database is empty, you cannot perform this step.
Step 3 Activate the database.
