authUtil on Sets the switch authentication policy to ON mode. Strict authentication is enforced on all E_Ports. The interswitch link (ISL) goes down (port disable), if the connecting switch does not support the authentication or the authentication policy is switched off. -dev off | passive | on Sets the device authentication policy. Three modes are supported. Device authentication policy is off by default. This option and suboptions are supported in AG mode. 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 forms an F_Port without authentication. In this mode the device accepts authentication on all F_Ports. on Sets the authentication policy to "on" mode. Authentication is mandatory. If the attached device is not capable of doing authentication, the corresponding port is disabled. --authinit [slot/]port [, [slot/]port...| allE Reinitiates authentication on selected ports after changing the DH-CHAP group, hash type, and shared secret between a pair of switches. This command does not work on Private, Loop, NPIV and FICON devices. This command may bring down the E_Ports if the DH-CHAP shared secrets are not installed correctly. This command is not supported on encrypted ports. This option is not supported in AG mode. This command does not initiate authentication on disabled ports. Valid options include the following: slot Specify the slot number, if applicable, followed by a slash (/). port Specify the port number. On enterprise-class platforms, use the slot/port format for specifying the port number. allE Specify all E_Ports in the switch. Examples To set DH-CHAP as the authentication protocol: switch:admin> authutil --set -a dhchap Authentication is set to dhchap. To set both protocols in order of FCAP and then DH-CHAP: switch:admin> authutil --set -a all Authentication is set to fcap,dhchap. 68 Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1004112-02
