FC-SP Interfaces

Field

Description

Mode

The FC-SP mode on this interface.

  • If autoPassive, a port would not initiate any FC-SP authentication exchange; but would always take part in FC-SP authentication exchange initiated by the other side.
  • If autoActive, a port would always try to initiate FC-SP authentication exchange after ESC. If other side does not support FC-SP authentication, port will still be brought up.
  • If on, port would always try to initiate FC-SP authentication exchange and authentication is done before the port becomes up. If other side does not support FC-SP authentication, port will not be brought up.
  • If off, port would never initiate FC-SP authentication exchange and send reject to any FC-SP authentication message started from other end. If this is not 'off', then port has to support at least one FC-SP authentication protocol.

Reauthenticate Interval (hr)

The time (in hours) for which a port has to wait before trying to re-authenticate the other end.

Reauthenticate Start

Re-authenticate the other end, if this is set to enable.

Auth Successes

The number of times the FC-SP authentication succeeded on this interface.

Auth Fails

Auth Bypasses
