Use the secAuthSecret command to perform the following tasks: • View the WWN of switches with a secret key pair. • Set the secret key pair for switches. • Remove the secret key pair for one or more switches. Note the following characteristics of a secret key pair: • The secret key pair must be set up locally on every switch. The secret key pair is not distributed fabric-wide. • If a secret key pair is not set up for a link, authentication fails. The "Authentication Failed" (reason code 05h) error will be reported and logged. • The minimum length of a shared secret is 8 bytes and the maximum length is 40 bytes. This section illustrates using the secAuthSecret command to display the list of switches in the current switch's shared secret database and to set the secret key pair for the current switch and a connected switch. See the for more details on the secAuthSecret command. NOTE: When setting a secret key pair, note that you are entering the shared secrets in plain text. Use a secure channel (for example, SSH or the serial console) to connect to the switch on which you are setting the secrets. Viewing the list of secret key pairs in the current switch database 1. Log in to the switch using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. On a switch running Fabric OS 4.x, 5.x, or 6.0.0 or later, enter secAuthSecret --show; on a switch running Fabric OS 3.x, enter secAuthSecret "--show". The output displays the WWN, domain ID, and name (if known) of the switches with defined shared secrets: WWN DId Name 10:00:00:60:69:80:07:52 Unknown 10:00:00:60:69:80:07:5c 1 switchA Setting a secret key pair 1.
