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

switch(config)# fcsp dhchap dhgroup
[0|1|2|3|4]
Step 2

switch(config)# no fcsp dhchap dhgroup
[0|1|2|3|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
