About DHCHAP Authentication Modes
The DHCHAP authentication status for each interface depends on the configured DHCHAP port mode.
When the DHCHAP feature is enabled in a switch, each Fibre Channel interface or FCIP interface may
be configured to be in one of four DHCHAP port modes:
•
On—During switch initialization, if the connecting device supports DHCHAP authentication, the
software performs the authentication sequence. If the connecting device does not support DHCHAP
authentication, the software moves the link to an isolated state.
•
Auto-Active—During switch initialization, if the connecting device supports DHCHAP
authentication, the software performs the authentication sequence. If the connecting device does not
support DHCHAP authentication, the software continues with the rest of the initialization sequence.
•
Auto-Passive (default)—The switch does not initiate DHCHAP authentication, but participates in
DHCHAP authentication if the connecting device initiates DHCHAP authentication.
•
Off—The switch does not support DHCHAP authentication. Authentication messages sent to such
ports return error messages to the initiating switch.
Note
Whenever DHCHAP port mode is changed to a mode other than the Off mode, reauthentication is
performed.
Table 36-1
identifies the switch-to-switch authentication behavior between two Cisco MDS switches in
various modes.
Configuring the DHCHAP Mode
To configure the DHCHAP mode for a particular interface, follow these steps:
