authUtil 2 on Sets the switch authentication policy to ON mode. Strict authentication will be enforced on all E_ports. The inter switch link (ISL) will go down (port disable), if the connecting switch does not support the authentication or policy is switched off. off Turns off the authentication and the switch rejects any authentication requests. active Sets the authentication policy to active mode. During switch initialization, authentication will be initiated on all E_ports, but the port will not be disabled if the connecting switch does not support authentication or the authentication policy is turned off. passive (default) Sets the authentication policy to passive mode. The switch does not initiate authentication but participates in authentication if the connecting switch initiates authentication. -dev off|passive Set device authentication policy. Two modes are supported. Device authentication policy is off by default. off Turns off the device authentication policy. Authentication is not required. The switch ignores any authentication requests and continues with the FC probing without authentication. passive Sets the authentication policy to Passive mode. Authentication is optional. If the attached device is capable of doing the authentication then the switch participates in authentication; otherwise it will form an F_Port without authentication. In this mode the device accepts authentication on all F_ports. authinit [slotnumber/]portnumber [,slotnumber/portnumber...| allE] Re-initiates authentication on selected ports after changing the DH-chap group, hash type, and shared secret between a pair of switches. This command will not work on Private, Loop, NPIV and FICON devices. The command can re-initiate authentication only if the device was previously authenticated. This command may bring down the E_Port(s) if the DH-CHAP shared secrets are not installed correctly. Valid values include: slotnumber Specify the slot number if applicable. portnumber Specify the port number. On chassis-based systems, use the slot/port format for specifying the port number. allE Specify all E_ports in the switch. Examples To display authentication configuration on the switch: switch:admin> authutil --show AUTH TYPE HASH TYPE GROUP TYPE fcap,dhchap sha1,md5 0,1,2,3,4 Switch Authentication Policy: PASSIVE Device Authentication Policy: OFF To set DH-CHAP as the authentication protocol: switch:admin> authutil --set -a dhchap Fabric OS Command Reference 39 53-1000599-01
