	Enables authentication configuration on a per-port basis and the ability to display authentication
	status and statistics.
Synopsis	bcu auth --algo<port_id> <mdsha1mssm>
	bcu auth --policy<port_id> {onoff}
	bcu auth --reinit<port_id>
	bcu auth --secret<port_id> “secret_string”
	bcu auth --show<port_id>
	bcu auth --stats<port_id>
	bcu auth --statsclr<port_id>
Description	Configure and display authentication settings and status.
Operands	--algo	Sets the authentication algorithm.
	port_id	Specifies the ID of the port for which you want to display information.

mdsha1mssm

• MD5 - A hashing algorithm that verifies a message’s integrity using Message Digest version 5. MD5 produces a 128-bit digest and is the required authentication mechanism for LDAP v3 servers.

• SHA1 - A secure hashing algorithm that computes a 160-bit message

	digest for a data file that is provided as input.
	• MD5SH1 - Similar to the MD5 hashing algorithm, but used for DH-CHAP
	authentication
	• SHA1MD5 - Similar to the SHA1 hashing algorithm, but used for DH-CHAP
	authentication
--policy	Turns authentication on or off. By default, the authentication policy is
	disabled. If authentication is enabled, the port attempts to negotiate with the
	switch. If the switch side does not participate in the authentication process,
	the port skips the authentication process. If the switch participates in the
	authentication and authentication fails, the port is placed in a link down
	state.
port_id	Specifies the ID of the port for which you want to set the authentication policy.
onoff	Specifies the state of the authentication policy: “policy 2/1 on” means
	authentication is turned on, “policy 2/1 off” means authentication is turned
	off.
--reinit	Restarts the authentication on the port.
port_id	Specifies the ID of the port for which you want to restart authentication.
--secret	Sets the shared secret.
	Note: You cannot clear the secret.
port_id	Specifies the ID of the port for which you want to set the shared secret.
