Auto Save enables or disables the saving of changes to the active security set in the switch non-volatile

security database.
• Enable Auto Save to save changes to the active security set in non-volatile memory on the switch. If

Auto Save is disabled, changes to the active security set are saved only to temporary memory and

any updates from remote switches are not saved locally. If the local switch is reset, it may become

isolated. Enable Auto Save when Fabric Binding is enabled.

• Enable Fabric Binding Enabled to enforce World Wide Name and domain ID matching with other

switches in the same ISL group. This prevents unauthorized switches from accessing the fabric. For

information about specifying domain IDs for ISL group members, see ”
