To configure switch security from the faceplate display, perform the following procedure:

Select
Security > Edit Security Config to open the Security Config dialog.

Auto Save option to enable (default) or disable Auto Save mode.
If enabled, the security configuration is saved to non-volatile memory on the switch. If disabled, the
security file is saved only to temporary memory. The Auto Save feature is used when Fabric Binding is
enabled. When Auto Save is disabled, any updates from remote switches will not be saved locally. If
the local switch is reset, it may isolate.

Fabric Binding Enabled option to require the expected domain ID of a switch to be verified
before being allowed to attach to the fabric.
NOTE:
The fabric binding feature must be enabled on all switches in the fabric. When enabling
this feature, it is best to set the switch state to offline, enable the fabric binding feature on all
switches, and then set the switch state to online.
