Authentication policies are distributed only if all the selected switches accept the distribution. Only
the policy mode is distributed to the selected switches. The switch initiating the distribution must

A user who has changed authentication policy parameters or a shared secret key pair can
re-initialize the authentication.

Setting a shared secret key pair
DH-CHAP requires a shared secret key pair between two entities to authenticate with each other. A
key pair consists of a local secret and a peer secret. The local secret identifies the local switch. The
peer secret identifies the entity to which the local switch may authenticate.
