If a host is configured for authentication by ports with CHAP, authentication of the host fails. To allow such a host to connect
to the port without authentication, do not configure it for authentication by ports with CHAP.
For more information about authentication of hosts, see Authentication of hosts (Fibre Channel
environments).
Settings an
d connection results in authentication of Fibre Channel switches
During auth
entication of hosts, the connection result is determined based on the combination of the
following p
ort settings:
• Port's setting in the Port tree: enable (
)ordisable( )
• Whether or not the user information for the Fibre Channel switch that attempts to connect is
registered on the port
Table 19 shows the relationship between combinations of port settings and connection results in
authentication of Fibre Channel switches. Regardless of whether or not the host is configured for
authentication by Fibre Channel switches with CHAP, the connection results are as follows, unless
otherwise noted.
