Host security authentication
Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) is a mechanism used to secure communication between
two switches or between a switch and a device such as an HBA port.
You can use either the Management application or the HCM GUI to display the authentication
settings and status. When you enable FC-SP authentication using the Management application,
you can also set the authentication settings on the attached 8 Gbps 8-FC port.
NOTE
FC-SP is only available for Brocade HBAs that are managed using the HCM agent and CIM Server.
FC-SP is not available for virtual ports or unmanaged HBA ports. The user must have the Security
privilege to use this feature. FC-SP is not supported for hosts connected to Access Gateway
mode-enabled devices.
Configuring security authentication using the Management application
Access the Fibre Channel Security Protocol Configuration dialog box by selecting an adapter port
from the device tree. Select the appropriate device based on how you want to configure security
authentication.
1. Select Configure > Element Manager > HCM.
The Host Connectivity Manager (HCM) launches.
2. From HCM, select Configure > Authentication.
The Fibre Channel Security Protocol Configuration dialog box, shown in Figure 310 , displays.
