2–Planning Security

1.Create a security set (Security_Set_1) on Switch_1.

a.Create a port group (Group_Port_1) in Security_Set_1 with Switch_1, HBA_1, and JBOD as members.

Switch_1

Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:e3:4c

 

Authentication: CHAP

 

Primary Hash: MD5

 

Primary Secret: 0123456789abcdef

HBA_1

Node WWN: 10:00:00:c0:dd:07:c3:4d

 

Authentication: CHAP

 

Primary Hash: MD5

 

Primary Secret: fedcba9876543210

JBOD

Node WWN: 10:00:00:d1:ee:18:d4:5e

 

Authentication: None

 

Node WWN: 10:00:00:d1:ee:18:d4:5f

 

Authentication: None

 

Node WWN: 10:00:00:d1:ee:18:d4:5g

 

Authentication: None

 

 

Switch_1 and all devices and switches connected to Switch_1 must be included in the group even if the switch or devices does not support authentication. Otherwise, the Switch_1 port will isolate.

You must specify HBAs by node worldwide name. Switches can be specified by port or node worldwide name. The type of switch worldwide name you use in the switch security database must be the same as that in the HBA security database. For example, if you specify a switch with a port worldwide name in the switch security database, you must also specify that switch in the HBA security database with the same port worldwide name.

For CHAP authentication, create 32-character hexadecimal or 16-character ASCII secrets. The switch secret must be shared with the HBA security database.
