AUTH-1042

Message
<timestamp>, [AUTH-1042], <sequence-number>,, ERROR, <system-name>, Port <port
number> has been disabled, because authentication failed with code '<Reason
String>' and explanation '<Explanation String>'.
Probable Cause The specified port has been disabled, because the connecting switch/device failed to authenticate.
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 the secAuthSecret command and reinitialize authentication using
the portDisable and portEnable commands.
If the message persists, run the supportFtp command (as needed) to set up automatic FTP
transfers; then run the supportSave command and contact your switch service provider.
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.
Action
Severity ERROR

AUTH-1044

Message
<timestamp>, [AUTH-1044], <sequence-number>, FFDC, 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.
