MDS-9216
To configure the authentication setup shown in
Step 1
Obtain the device name of the MDS 9216 Switch in the fabric, The MDS 9216 Switch in the fabric is
identified by the switch WWN.
MDS-9216# show wwn switch
Switch WWN is 20:00:00:05:30:00:54:de
Explicitly enable DHCHAP in this switch.
Step 2
When you disable DHCHAP, all related configurations are automatically discarded.
Note
MDS-9216(config)# fcsp enable
Step 3
Configure a clear text password for this switch. This password will be used by the connecting device.
MDS-9216(config)# fcsp dhchap password rtp9216
Configures a password for another switch in the fabric that is identified by the switch WWN device

name.
MDS-9216(config)# fcsp dhchap devicename 20:00:00:05:30:00:38:5e password rtp9509
Enable the DHCHAP mode for the required Fibre Channel interface.
Step 5
Whenever DHCHAP port mode is changed to a mode other than the Off mode, reauthentication is

performed.
MDS-9216(config)# interface fc 1/16
MDS-9216(config-if)# fcsp on
Step 6
Verify the protocol security information configured in this switch by displaying the DHCHAP local
password database.
