Configuring and enabling authentication
To configure authentication for ports that will later be configured for encryption, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the switch using an account with admin permissions, or an account with OM
permissions for the Authentication RBAC class of commands.
2. Enter the secAuthSecret
--set command to establish pre-shared secrets at each end of the
ISL. It is recommended to use a 32 bit secret for an ISL carrying encrypted or compressed
traffic.
secauthsecret --set
When prompted, enter the WWN for the local switch and secret strings for the local switch and
the remote switch.
When setting a secret key pair, you are entering the shared secrets in plain text. Use a secure
channel, such as SSH or the serial console, to connect to the switch on which you are setting
the secrets.
