Configuring encryption and compression
14
The following topics provide step-by-step instructions for performing encryption and compression
tasks:
• “Viewing the encryption and compression configuration” on page 315
• “Configuring and enabling authentication” on page 316
• “Configuring encryption” on page 317
• “Configuring compression” on page 317
Viewing the encryption and compression configuration
To determine which ports are available for encryption or compression on each chip on the switch,
follow these steps:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions, or an account with
O permission for the SwitchPortManagement RBAC class of commands.
2. Enter the portEncCompShow command.
The following example shows the output for two chips. Chip 1 (below the line of dashes) already
has compression configured and active on user ports 348 and 349. Given the limit of two
ports per chip, chip 1 has no more ports available for encryption or compression. Chip 0 (above
the dashed line) has no ports configured for either encryption or compression and therefore
has any two ports available for this purpose. For bladed switches, use the switchShow
command to determine the slot number of a specific user port.
