This command sets up secret keys for the DH-CHAP authentication.
The minimum length of a secret key is 8 characters and maximum 40
characters. Setting up secret keys does not initiate DH-CHAP
authentication. If switch is configured to do DH-CHAP, it is performed
whenever a port or a switch is enabled.
Warning: Please use a secure channel for setting secrets. Using
an insecure channel is not safe and may compromise secrets.
Following inputs should be specified for each entry.
