> # Configuring Port Security with Auto-Learning without CFS

> ## Detailed Steps

> To configure port security using auto-learning without CFS, follow these steps:

> 1. Enable port security. See the "Enabling Port Security" topic.
> 2. Activate port security on each VSAN. This turns on auto-learning by default. See the "Activating Port Security" topic.
> 3. Wait until all switches and all hosts are automatically learned.
> 4. Disable auto-learn on each VSAN. See the "Disabling Auto-learning" topic.
> 5. Copy the active database to the configure database on each VSAN. See the "Copying the Port Security Database" topic.
> 6. Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration This saves the port security configure database to the startup configuration.
> 7. Repeat Step 1 through Step 6 for all switches in the fabric.
