Password Configuration for Other Devices
You can configure passwords in the local authentication database for other devices in a fabric. The other
devices are identified by their device name, which is also know as the switch WWN or device WWN.
The password is restricted to 64 characters and can be specified in clear text (0) or in encrypted text (7).
The switch WWN identifies the physical switch. This WWN is used to authenticate the switch and is
Note
different from the VSAN node WWN.
Locally Configuring the Device Name
To locally configure the device name of another switch in the fabric, follow these steps:
