Configuring the Security Database
You can configure how the security database is applied to the switch and
exchanged with the fabric through the security configuration parameters. The
following security configuration parameters are available through the
Set Config Security command:
AutoSave–This parameter enables or disables the saving of changes to
active security set in the switch’s non-volatile security database.
FabricBindingEnabled–This parameter enables or disables the configuration
and enforcement of fabric binding on all switches in the fabric. Fabric binding
associates switch worldwide names with a domain ID in the creation of ISL
groups.
If AutoSave is False, you can revert device security changes that have been
received from another switch through the activation of a security set, or merging of
fabrics. Enter the Security Restore command to replace the volatile security
database with the contents of the non-volatile security database.
To restore the security configuration to its factory values, you can enter the
Reset Config or Reset Factory command. Notice however, that these commands
restore other aspects of the switch configuration also.
