Purpose
Command or Action
Reverts to the factory default priority list of
the MD5 hash algorithm followed by the
SHA-1 hash algorithm.
no fcsp dhchap hash sha1
Example:
switch(config)# no fcsp dhchap hash sha1
Step 3
DHCHAP Group Settings
All Cisco SAN switches support all DHCHAP groups specified in the standard: 0 (null DH group, which does
not perform the Diffie-Hellman exchange), 1, 2, 3, or 4.
If you change the DH group configuration, change it globally for all switches in the fabric.
Configuring the DHCHAP Group Settings
You can change the DH group settings.
Procedure
Purpose
Command or Action
Enters global configuration mode.

switch(config)#
Step 1
Prioritizes the use of DH groups in the
configured order.

Step 2
Reverts to the DHCHAP factory default
order of 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Step 3
DHCHAP Password
DHCHAP authentication in each direction requires a shared secret password between the connected devices.
To do this, you can use one of three configurations to manage passwords for all switches in the fabric that
participate in DHCHAP:
•
Configuration 1
—
Use the same password for all switches in the fabric. This is the simplest configuration.
When you add a new switch, you use the same password to authenticate that switch in this fabric. It is
