Recommended
Action
Correct the switch policy configuration on either of the switches using the authUtil command, and
then enable the port using the portEnable command.
Severity ERROR
AUTH-1040
Message <timestamp>, [AUTH-1040], <sequence-number>,, INFO, <system-name>, Reject
authentication on port <Port Number>, because switch authentication policy is set
to OFF.
Probable Cause Indicates that the local switch has rejected the authentication because the switch policy is turned
off. If the neighboring switch has a strict (ON) switch policy, the light will go off due to conflicting
configuration settings. Otherwise E_Port will form without authentication.
Recommended
Action
If there is no light on the port, correct the switch policy configuration on either of the switches using
the authUtil command, and then enable the port on the neighboring switch using the portEnable
command. If the E_Port formed, no action is required.
Severity INFO
AUTH-1041
Message <timestamp>, [AUTH-1041], <sequence-number>,, ERROR, <system-name>, Port <port
number> has been disabled, because an authentication-reject was received with code
'<Reason String>' and explanation '<Explanation String>'.
Probable Cause The specified port had been disabled, because it received an authentication-reject response from
the connected switch/device. The error might indicate that an invalid entity attempted to connect
to the switch.
Recommended
Action
Check the connection port for a possible security attack.
Check the shared secrets using secAuthSecret and reinitialize authentication using the portDisable
and portEnable commands.
If the message persists, run supportFtp (as needed) to set up automatic FTP transfers; then run the
supportSave command and contact your switch service provider.
Severity ERROR
AUTH-1042
Message <timestamp>, [AUTH-1042], <sequence-number>,, ERROR, <system-name>, Port <port
number> has been disabled, because authentication failed with code '<Reason
String>' and explanation '<Explanation String>'.
Probable Cause The specified port has been disabled, because the connecting switch/device failed to
authenticate. The error might indicate that an invalid entity attempted to connect to the switch.
