for use.
switch:admin> secauthsecret --set
This command is used to set up secret keys for the DH-CHAP authentication.
The minimum length of a secret key is 8 characters and maximum 40
characters. Setting up secret keys does not initiate DH-CHAP
authentication. If switch is configured to do DH-CHAP, it is performed
whenever a port or a switch is enabled.
Warning: Please use a secure channel for setting secrets. Using
an insecure channel is not safe and may compromise secrets.
Following inputs should be specified for each entry.
1. WWN for which secret is being set up.
2. Peer secret: The secret of the peer that authenticates to peer.
3. Local secret: The local secret that authenticates peer.

Configuring an interfabric link

Before configuring an IFL, be aware that you cannot configure both IFLs (EX_Ports, VEX_Ports) and ISLs
(E_Ports) from a backbone fabric consisting of a single 400 MP Router or 4/256 SAN Director or DC
Director with an FR4- 1 8i blade to the same edge fabric.
Configuring an interfabric link involves disabling ports and cabling them to other fabrics, configuring those
ports for their intended use, and then enabling the ports.
When it is in strict mode, ACL cannot support Fibre Channel routing in the fabric. Before connecting an
edge fabric to an FC router and before setting up the FC router in the BB, verify that the Fabric Wide
Consistency Policy is not in 'strict' mode by issuing the fddCfg
If the Fabric Wide Consistency Policy has the 'S' letter in it in the edge fabric or the BB fabric, do not
connect the edge fabric or the BB to the FC router.
NOTE: To ensure that fabrics remain isolated, disable the port prior to inserting the cable. If you are
configuring an EX_Port, disable the port prior to making the connection.
