Step 3 Click Next. You see the AutoLearn Current End Devices page.
Step 4 Optionally, click the Create Configuration From Currently Logged In End Devices check box if you
want to turn on autolearning.
Step 5 Click Next. You see the Edit and Activate Configuration page.
Step 6 Verify the current or autolearned configuration. Optionally, click Insert to add more entries into the
DPVM config database.
Step 7 Click Finish to update the DPVM config database, distribute the changes using CFS, and activate the
database, or click Cancel to exit the DPVM Setup Wizard without saving changes.
Modifying the DPVM Database
You can modify the DPVM database created with the DPVM Setup wizard. This includes adding or
modifying entries, activating the config database, turning autolearning on or off, and clearing unsaved
autolearned entries.
Note Most tabs in the Information pane for features using CFS are dimmed until you visit the CFS tab. The
CFS tab shows which switches have CFS enabled and shows the master switch for this feature. Once the
CFS tab is visited, the other tabs are activated.
