If you discard (abort) the changes made to the pending database, the configuration remains unaffected and
the lock is released.

Step 2
Activation and Auto-Learning Configuration Distribution
Activation and auto-learning configurations in distributed mode are remembered as actions to be performed
when you commit the changes in the pending database.
Learned entries are temporary and do not have any role in determining if a login is authorized or not. As such,
learned entries do not participate in distribution. When you disable learning and commit the changes in the
pending database, the learned entries become static entries in the active database and are distributed to all
switches in the fabric. After the commit, the active database on all switches are identical and learning can be
disabled.
If the pending database contains more than one activation and auto-learning configuration when you commit
the changes, the activation and auto-learning changes are consolidated and the resulting operation may change
(see the following table).
