AUTH-1040

5

Recommended

Action

Correct the switch policy configuration on either of the switches using the authUtil command, and then
enable the port using the portEnable command.

AUTH-1040

Message

Reject authentication on port <Port Number>, because switch authentication policy
is set to OFF.

Message Type

LOG

Severity

INFO

Probable Cause

Indicates that the local switch has rejected the authentication because the switch policy is turned off. If
the neighboring switch has a strict (ON) switch policy, the port will be disabled due to conflicting
configuration settings. Otherwise, the E_Port will form without authentication.

Recommended

Action

If the port is disabled, correct the switch policy configuration on either of the switches using the authUtil
command, and then enable the port on the neighboring switch using the portEnable command. If the
E_Port has formed, no action is required.

AUTH-1041

Message

Port <port number> has been disabled, because an authentication-reject was
received with code '<Reason String>' and explanation '<Explanation String>'.

Message Type

LOG

Severity

ERROR

Probable Cause

Indicates that the specified port has been disabled because it received an authentication-reject response
from the connected switch or device. The error may indicate that an invalid entity tried to connect to the
switch.

Recommended

Action

Check the connection port for a possible security attack.

Check the shared secrets using the secAuthSecret command and reinitialize authentication using the
portDisable and portEnable commands.

If the message persists, execute the supportFtp command (as needed) to set up automatic FTP
transfers; then execute the supportSave command and contact your switch service provider.

AUTH-1042

Message

Port <port number> has been disabled, because authentication failed with code
'<Reason String>' and explanation '<Explanation String>'.

Message Type

LOG

Severity

ERROR

Probable Cause

Indicates that the specified port has been disabled because the connecting switch or device failed to
authenticate. The error may indicate that an invalid entity attempted to connect to the switch.
