aaa authentication login password-aging enable command changed to aaa authentication login ascii-authentication. |
Usage Guidelines
Password aging notification is initiated when the user authenticates to a Cisco MDS 9000 switch with a TACACS+ account. The user is notified when a password is about to expire or has expired. If the password has expired, the user is prompted to change the password.
Note As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.2(1), only TACACS+ supports password aging notification. If you try to use RADIUS servers by enabling this feature, RADIUSs will generate a SYSLOG message and authentication will fall back to the local database. Cisco ACS TACACS+ server must have chpass enabled as well.
- Password change—You can change your password by entering a blank password.
- Password aging notification—Notifies password aging. Notification happens only if the AAA server is configured and MSCHAP and MSCHAPv2 is disabled.
- Password change after expiration—Initiates password change after the old password expires. Initiation happens from the AAA server.
Note Password aging notification fails if you do not disable MSCHAP and MSCHAPv2 authentication.

switch(config)# aaa authentication login ascii-authentication

active equals saved
To automatically write any changes to the block, prohibit or port an address name to the IPL file, use the active equals saved command. To disable the configuration or to revert to factory defaults, use the no form of the command.
active equals saved
no active equals saved
Syntax Description
This command has no other arguments or keywords.
Defaults
Disabled.
Enabled (when a FICON VSAN is configured).
Command Modes

Command History
|
|
1.3(1) |

Usage Guidelines
Enabling active equals saved ensures that you do not have to perform the copy running-config startup-config command to save the FICON configuration as well as the running configuration. If your switch or fabric consists of multiple FICON-enabled VSANs, and one of these VSANs has active equals saved enabled, changes made to the non-FICON configuration causes all FICON-enabled configurations to be saved to the IPL file.
The following example enables the automatic save feature for a VSAN:
switch(config)# ficon vsan 2
switch(config-ficon)# active equals saved
The following example disables the automatic save feature for this VSAN:
switch(config-ficon)# no active equals saved

Command History
|
|
1.3(1) |
This command was introduced. |
2.1(1a) |
Modified range for fabric-id. |
Usage Guidelines
The following rules apply to configuring AFIDs to VSANs:
- The default AFID of a VSAN is 1.
- Each VSAN belongs to one and only one AFID.
- A switch can be a member of multiple AFIDs.
- AFIDs at a switch must not share any VSAN identifier (for example, a VSAN at a switch can belong to only one AFID).
- A VSAN identifier can be reused in different AFIDs, without merging the VSANs, as long as those AFIDs do not share a switch.
You can have up to 64 VSANs (or 128 VSANs for Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(1a) or later) in an IVR topology. Specify the IVR topology using the following information:
- The switch WWNs of the IVR-enabled switches.
- A minimum of two VSANs to which the IVR-enabled switch belongs.
- The autonomous fabric ID (AFID), which distinguishes two VSANs that are logically and physically separate, but have the same VSAN number. Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.3(1) and NX-OS Release 4.1(1b) supports only one default AFID (AFID 1) and does not support non-unique VSAN IDs in the network. As of Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(1a), you can specify up to 64 AFIDs.
Note Two VSANs with the same VSAN number but different fabric IDs are counted as two VSANs out of the 128 total VSANs allowed in the fabric.
Examples
The following command enters the configuration mode, enables the IVR feature, enters the VSAN topology database, and configures the pWWN-VSAN association for VSANs 2 and 2000:
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)# ivr enable
switch(config)# ivr vsan-topology database
switch(config-ivr-topology-db)# autonomous-fabric-id 1 switch 20:00:00:00:30:00:3c:5e vsan-ranges 2,2000

autonomous-fabric-id (IVR service group configuration)
To configure an autonomous fabric ID (AFID) into an IVR service group, use the autonomous-fabric-id command in IVR service group configuration submode. To remove the autonomous fabric ID, use the no form of the command.
autonomous-fabric-id afid vsan-ranges vsan-id
no autonomous-fabric-id afid vsan-ranges vsan-id
Syntax Description
afid |
Specifies the AFID to the local VSAN. |
vsan-ranges vsan-id |
Configures up to five ranges of VSANs to be added to the service group. The range is 1 to 4093. |

This command was introduced. |
Usage Guidelines
Before configuring an IVR service group, you must enable the following:
- IVR using the ivr enable command
- IVR distribution using the ivr distribute command
- Automatic IVR topology discovery using the ivr vsan-topology auto command
To change to IVR service group configuration submode, use the ivr service-group activate command.
Examples
The following command enters the IVR service group configuration submode and configures AFID 10 to be in IVR service group serviceGroup1:
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)# ivr enable
switch(config)# ivr distribute
switch(config)# ivr vsan-topology auto
switch(config)# ivr service-group name serviceGroup1
switch(config-ivr-sg)# autonomous-fabric-id 10 vsan 1-4

This command was introduced. |
Usage Guidelines
You must configure the IVR VSAN topology to auto mode, using the ivr vsan-topology auto command, before you can use the autonomous-fabric-id database command to modify the database. The autonomous-fabric-id database command also enters AFID database configuration submode.
Note In user-configured VSAN topology mode, the AFIDs are specified in the IVR VSAN topology configuration itself and a separate AFID configuration is not needed.
Examples
The following example shows how to create an AFID database and enters AFID database configuration submode:
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)# autonomous-fabric-id database

Command History

|
3.2(2) |
This command was introduced. |
Usage Guidelines
If Cisco SME recognizes that the tape’s barcode does not belong to an existing volume group, then a new volume group is created when automatic volume grouping is enabled.
Examples
The following example enables automatic volume grouping:
switch(config)# sme cluster c1
switch(config-sme-cl)# auto-volgrp
The following example disables automatic volume grouping:
switch(config)# sme cluster c1
switch(config-sme-cl)# auto-volgrp
