Host security authentication

Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) is a mechanism used to secure communication between
two switches or between a switch and a device such as an HBA port.
You can use either the Management application or the HCM GUI to display the authentication
settings and status. When you enable FC-SP authentication using the Management application,
you can also set the authentication settings on the attached 8 Gbps 8-FC port.
NOTE
FC-SP is only available for Brocade HBAs that are managed using the HCM agent. FC-SP is not
available for virtual ports or unmanaged HBA ports. The user must have the Security privilege to use
this feature.
