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.
Recommended
Action
Check the connection port for a possible security attack.
Check the shared secrets using the secAuthSecret command and reinitialize authentication using
the portDisable and portEnable commands.
If the message persists, run the supportFtp command (as needed) to set up automatic FTP
transfers; then run the supportSave command and contact your switch service provider.
Severity ERROR
AUTH-1043
Message <timestamp>, [AUTH-1043], <sequence-number>,, ERROR, <system-name>, Failed to
enforce device authentication mode:<Device Auth Policy>(error: <Reason Code>).
Probable Cause Indicates that the Kernel mode setting for F_Port authentication failed. Device authentication will
be defaulted to OFF, and switch will not participate in Diffie Hellman - challenge handshake
authentication protocol (DH-CHAP) authentication with devices.
Recommended
Action
Try setting the device authentication policy manually using the authUtil command.
Severity ERROR
AUTH-1044
Message <timestamp>, [AUTH-1044], <sequence-number>, FFDC, ERROR, <system-name>,
Authentication <Reason for disabling the port>. Disabling port <port number>.
Probable Cause Indicates authentication has timed out after multiple retries. The specified port has been disabled
as a result. This problem may be transient due to the system’s central processing unit (CPU) load.
In addition, a defective small form-factor pluggable (SFP) or faulty cable may have caused the
failure.
Recommended
Action
Check the SFP and the cable. Then try to enable the port using the portEnable command.
Severity ERROR
