AUTH-3004
Message
AUDIT, <timestamp>, [AUTH-3004], INFO, SECURITY, <event-initiator-details>,
<event-location>, , Event: <Event Name>, Status: failed, Info: Neighboring switch
has a conflicting authentication policy; Port <Port Number> disabled.
Probable Cause The specified E_Port was disabled because the neighboring switch rejected the authentication
negotiation, and the local switch has a strict switch authentication policy.
Recommended Correct the switch policy configuration on either of the switches using the authUtil command, and
Action then enable the specified port executing portEnable.
Severity INFO

AUTH-3005

Message
AUDIT, <timestamp>, [AUTH-3005], INFO, SECURITY, <event-initiator-details>,
<event-location>, , Event: <Event Name>, Status: failed, Info: Rejecting
authentication request on port <Port Number> because switch policy is turned off.
Probable Cause Indicates that the local switch has rejected the authentication request, because the switch policy is
turned off. If the neighboring switch has a strict (ON) switch policy, the light will go off due to
conflicting configuration settings. Otherwise the E_Port will form without authentication.
Recommended If the light on the specified port is off, correct the switch policy configuration on either of the
Action switches using the authUtil command, and then enable the port on the neighboring switch using
the portEnable command. If the E_Port formed no action is required.
Severity INFO

AUTH-3006

Message
AUDIT, <timestamp>, [AUTH-3006], INFO, SECURITY, <event-initiator-details>,
<event-location>, , Event: <Event Name>, Status: failed, Info: Authentication
failed on port <port number> due to mismatch of DH-CHAP shared secrets.
Probable Cause Indicates that an authentication operation using a Diffie Hellman - challenge-handshake
authentication protocol (DH-CHAP) failed on the specified port due to mismatched response values
between two entities.
The error might indicate that an invalid entity attempted to connect to the switch.
Recommended Check the connection port for a possible security attack.
Action
Check the shared secrets using secAuthSecret and reinitialize authentication using the portDisable
and portEnable commands.
If the message persists, run supportFtp (as needed) to set up automatic FTP transfers; then run the
supportSave command and contact your switch service provider.
