Severity ERROR
AUTH-1043
Message
<timestamp>, [AUTH-1043], <sequence-number>,, ERROR, <system-name>, Failed to
enforce device authentication mode:<Device Auth Policy>(error: <Reason Code>).
Probable Cause Indicates that the Kernel mode setting for F_Port authentication failed. Device authentication will
be defaulted to OFF, and switch will not participate in Diffie Hellman - challenge handshake
authentication protocol (DH-CHAP) authentication with devices.
Recommended Try setting the device authentication policy manually using the authUtil command.

Severity ERROR
AUTH-1044
Message
<timestamp>, [AUTH-1044], <sequence-number>,, ERROR, <system-name>,
Authentication <Reason for disabling the port>. Disabling port <port number>.
Probable Cause Indicates authentication has timed out after multiple retries. The specified port has been disabled
as a result. This problem may be transient due to the system's central processing unit (CPU) load.
In addition, a defective small form-factor pluggable (SFP) or faulty cable may have caused the
failure.
Recommended Check the SFP and the cable. Then try to enable the port using the portEnable command.

Severity ERROR
AUTH-1045
Message

not present in this switch in <authentication phase> port <port number>.
Probable Cause Indicates that the public key infrastructure (PKI) certificate is not installed in this switch.
Recommended Check the certificate availability using the pkiShow command. Install the certificate and reinitialize
Action authentication using the portDisable and portEnable commands or the switchDisable and
switchEnable commands.
If the message persists, run supportFtp command (as needed) to set up automatic FTP transfers;
