Chapter 23 Configuring FC-SP and DHCHAP
DHCHAP
When changing the timeout value, consider the following factors:
• The existing RADIUS and TACACS+ timeout values.
• The same value must also be configured on all switches in the fabric.
Configuring the DHCHAP Timeout Value
To configure the DHCHAP timeout value using Fabric Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Expand Switches > Security, and then choose FC-SP.
You see the FC-SP configuration in the Information pane.
Step 2 Click the General/Password tab.
You see the DHCHAP general settings mode for each switch as shown in Figure 23-6.
Figure 23-6 General/Password Tab
Step 3
Change the DHCHAP timeout value for each switch in the fabric.
Step 4 Click the Apply Changes icon to save the updated information.
Configuring DHCHAP AAA Authentication
You can configure AAA authentication to use a RADIUS or TACACS+ server group. If AAA
authentication is not configured, local authentication is used by default.
To configure the AAA authentication, see the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series CLI Configuration Guide.
Enabling FC-SP on ISLs
There is an ISL pop-up menu in Fabric Manager called Enable FC-SP that enables FC-SP on switches
at either end of the ISL. You are prompted for an FC-SP generic password, then asked to set FC-SP
interface mode to On for affected ports. Right-click an ISL and click Enable FC-SP to access this
feature.
