Table 31 ISL Group member attributes (continued)

Attribute

 

Description

 

 

 

 

Secondary

 

Hash function to use to decipher the encrypted Secondary Secret sent by the ISL

Hash

 

group member. Hash values are MD5 or SHA-1. The Secondary Hash is used

 

 

 

when the Primary Hash is not available on the ISL group member. The Primary

 

 

 

Hash and the Secondary Hash cannot be the same.

 

 

 

 

Secondary

 

Hex string that is encrypted by the Secondary Hash and sent for authentication.

Secret

 

The string has the following lengths depending on the Secondary Hash function:

 

 

 

MD5 hash: 16-byte

 

 

 

SHA-1 hash: 20-byte

Attribute

 

Description

 

 

 

 

Member

 

Port World Wide Name for the N_Port device that would attach to the switch. A

 

 

member cannot belong to more than one group.

 

 

 

 

Authentication

 

Enables (CHAP) or disables (None) authentication using Challenge Handshake

 

 

Authentication Protocol. The default is None.

 

 

 

 

Primary Hash

 

The preferred hash function to use to decipher the encrypted Primary Secret sent

 

 

by the Port group member. The hash functions are MD5 or SHA-1. If the Port group

 

 

member does not support the Primary Hash, the switch will use the Secondary

 

 

Hash.

 

 

 

 

Primary Secret

 

Hexadecimal string that is encrypted by the Primary Hash for authentication with

 

 

the Port group member. The string has the following lengths depending on the

 

 

Primary Hash function:

 

 

MD5 hash: 16-byte

 

 

SHA-1 hash: 20-byte

 

 

 

 

Secondary

 

Hash function to use to decipher the encrypted Secondary Secret sent by the Port

Hash

 

group member. Hash values are MD5 or SHA-1. The Secondary Hash is used

 

 

when the Primary Hash is not available on the Port group member. The Primary

 

 

Hash and the Secondary Hash cannot be the same.
