Example Configuring the ‘edge’ switch to use DH-CHAP protocol for authentication, setting the DH group to
group 4, and activating switch authentication

edge: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
edge:admin> authutil --set -a dhchap
edge:admin> authutil --set -g 4
edge:admin> authutil --policy -sw active
Warning: Activating the authentication policy requires either DH-CHAP secrets or
PKI certificates depending on the protocol selected. Otherwise, ISLs will be
segmented during next E-port bring-up.
ARE YOU SURE (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Auth Policy is set to ON

Example Setting a secret key

NOTE

For this you need the WWN of the front phantom switch. Use portCfgExPort EX_Port# on that switch
to learn its wwn value.

edge:admin> secauthsecret --set

This command is used to set up secret keys for the DH-CHAP authentication.
The minimum length of a secret key is 8 characters and maximum 40
