your fabric.

in Fabric Manager.
Or use the fcsp dhchap password CLI command to set the
local switch password.
FC-SP DHCHAP configuration does
not match remote switch or host.

Manager” section on page 19-5 or the “Verifying FC-SP
Configuration Using the CLI” section on page 19-5.

FC-SP tab, set the Mode field to autoActive or
autoPassive, and click Apply Changes in Fabric Manager.
Or use the fcsp auto-active or fcsp auto-passive CLI
