About Enabling DHCHAP

By default, the DHCHAP feature is disabled in all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family.
You must explicitly enable the DHCHAP feature to access the configuration and verification commands
for fabric authentication. When you disable this feature, all related configurations are automatically
discarded.

Enabling DHCHAP

To enable DHCHAP for a Cisco MDS switch using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Expand Switches, expand Security and then select FC-SP.
Step 1
You see the FC-SP (DHCHAP) configuration in the Information pane shown in
Figure 45-2
The Control tab is the default. You see the FC-SP enable state for all switches in the fabric.
Set the Command drop-down menu to enable for all switches that you want to enable FC-SP on.
Step 2
Click the Apply Changes icon to enable FC-SP and DHCHAP on the selected switches.
