• If a port is specified as Switch default, this port abides by all authentication settings

configured for this switch. All ports are set to this state at product initialization time.

The HAFM appliance displays all the switches, directors, and end nodes connected to the

highlighted switch in the Devices tab. This tracks the security settings on each switch port and the

state of connected devices. This list can include:

Non-SANtegrity II compatible switches

Non-manageable switches

Non-HP switches

JBOD

HBA

Other storage devices

When your HAFM appliance is installed with SANtegrity and you discover a secure or unsecure

fabric, the E_Port authentication is disabled, and the drop-down menus for port authentication

display your HAFM appliance. If a device is SANtegrity capable, your HAFM appliance can

discover its current security settings and display them on the table. If not, your HAFM appliance

displays only a limited information about that device.
The Authenticated Devices list displays a list of authenticated devices that are in the current switch

local database. In this database, there are connected or detached devices. Devices listed in this

table must have a CHAP Secret.
Add an attached or detached device from the left Port Authentication List table by selecting a device

and clicking the right arrow button, double-clicking the device, or clicking Add. Change the CHAP

Secret of a device by selecting the device and clicking Edit. To remove devices from this list, select a

device or multiple devices, and click Remove.

NOTE:

If the device is involved with the authentication process and the device is removed, the

connectivity breaks.
