2–Planning Security

b.Create an ISL group (Group_ISL_1) in Security_Set_1 with Switch_1 and Switch_2 as members. The Switch_1 secret must be shared with the Switch_2 security database.

Switch_1

Switch_2

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

Authentication: CHAP

Primary Hash: MD5

Primary Secret: 0123456789abcdef

Binding: None

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

Authentication: CHAP

Primary Hash: MD5

Primary Secret: abcdefabcdef012

Binding: None

3.Configure security on HBA_1 using the appropriate management tool. Logins between the Switch_1 and HBA_1 will be challenged (CHAP) for their respective secrets. Therefore, the secrets for Switch_1 and HBA_1 that you configured on Switch_1 must also be configured on HBA_1.

4.Save and activate Security_Set_1 on Switch_1.

5.Create a security set (Security_Set_2) on Switch_2. Create an ISL group (Group_ISL_2) in Security_Set_2 with Switch_1 and Switch_2 as members.

Switch_2

Switch_1

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

Authentication: CHAP

Primary Hash: MD5

Primary Secret: abcdefabcdef0123

Binding: None

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

Authentication: CHAP

Primary Hash: MD5

Primary Secret: 0123456789abcdef

Binding: None

6.Save and activate Security_Set_2 on Switch_2.
