About Password Configuration for Remote 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 known 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).
Note The switch WWN identifies the physical switch. This WWN is used to authenticate the switch and is
different from the VSAN node WWN.
