All the configurations performed in distributed mode are stored in a pending (temporary) database. If 
you modify the configuration, you need to commit or discard the pending database changes to the 
configurations. The fabric remains locked during this period. Changes to the pending database are not 
reflected in the configurations until you commit the changes.

</p>
<a name="wp1076596"> </a><p class="pBodyAutonumNoRule">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> Port activation or deactivation and auto-learning enable or disable do not take effect until after a CFS 
commit if CFS distribution is enabled. Always follow any one of these operations with a CFS commit to 
ensure proper configuration. See the <a href="psec11.html">&quot;Activation and Auto-learning Configuration Distribution&quot; topic</a>.

</p>
<a name="wp1076600"> </a><p class="pBodyAutonumRel">
<strong>Tip	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> In this case, we recommend that you perform a commit at the end of each operation: after you activate 
port security and after you enable auto learning.

</p>

To enable distribution, follow these steps:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ol type="1" class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1114363"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Expand a <span style="font-weight: bold">VSAN</span> and select <span style="font-weight: bold">Port Securit</span>y in the Logical Domains pane.
</li>
<a name="wp1114364"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
You see the port security configuration for that VSAN in the Information pane.

</p>
<a name="wp1114365"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click the <span style="font-weight: bold">Control</span> tab. 
</li>
<a name="wp1114366"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
You see the switches for that VSAN. 

</p>
<a name="wp1114367"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">In the Command column, select <span style="font-weight: bold">enable</span> or <span style="font-weight: bold">disable</span> from the drop-down menu. 
</li>
<a name="wp1114368"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click the <b class="cBold">Apply Changes</b> icon to save the changes.
