-a <re-authentication-interval>
-t <timeout>

m specifies the mode. Valid values are (disabled, enabled, passive).
r specifies re-authentication mode. Valid values are (disabled, enabled).
a specifies re-authentication interval. Valid values are (0, 10 to 3,600), time in
minutes.
0 = Disables re-authentication.
t specifies timeout value, time in seconds.
NOTE: This command replaces the setauthconfigparams command.
authconfig status get -w <initiator
wwpn> -d <target wwpn>
Shows the authentication configuration status details.
d specifies the destination WWPN. It must be ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff for a switch or the
actual WWPN for a target.
NOTE: This command replaces the getauthstatus command.
beacon get -w <wwpn> Shows the beacon state of an Emulex FC HBA.
NOTE: This command replaces the getbeacon command.
beacon set -w <wwpn> -s <state> [-d
<duration>]
Sets the beacon state of an Emulex FC HBA.
s specifies the state of the beacon. Default is 1. Valid values are:
1 = Beacon on (mandatory).
0 = Beacon off.
d specifies the duration of beaconing. Maximum duration is 65,535 seconds.
The default is 0 for infinite beaconing. This is an optional parameter.
NOTE: This command replaces the setbeacon command.
bootparams get -w <wwpn> -t <boot type> Shows the boot parameters for a given port and given boot type.
t specifies the boot type: {X86, EFI, OB}.
