For additional information about configuring DH-CHAP authentication for E_Ports and EX_Ports,
see “Authentication policy for fabric elements” on page 207.
Configuring encryption
NOTE
Before performing this procedure, you must authenticate the port as described in “Configuring and
enabling authentication” on page 403. It is also recommended that you check for port availability
using the portEncCompShow command. See “Viewing the encryption and compression
configuration” on page 401 for details.
To configure encryption on a port, follow these steps:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with secure admin permissions, or an
account with OM permissions for the EncryptionConfiguration RBAC class of commands.
2. Use the portDisable command to disable the port on which you want to configure encryption.
3. Enter the portCfgEncrypt
--enable command.
The following example enables encryption on port 21 on a Brocade 6510 switch:
switch:admin> portcfgencrypt --enable 21
The following example enables encryption on port 15 of an FC16-32 blade in slot 9 of an
enterprise class platform:
switch:admin> portcfgencrypt --enable 9/15
4. Enable the port with the portEnable command.
After manually enabling the port, the new configuration becomes active.
