S Commands
The commands in this chapter apply to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family of multilayer directors and fabric switches. All commands are shown here in alphabetical order regardless of command mode.
salt (sa configuration submode)
To configure the salt for the Security Association (SA), use the key command. To delete the salt from the SA, use the no form of the command.
salt salt
no salt salt
Syntax Description
Defaults
None.
Command Modes
Configuration submode.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
None.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the salt for the current SA:
switch# config t
switch(config)# fcsp esp sa 257This is a Early Field Trial (EFT) feature. Please do not use this in a production environment. Continue Y/N ? [no] yswitch(config-sa)# salt 0x0Related Commands
fcsp enable
Enables FC-SP.
show fcsp interface
Displays FC-SP-related information for a specific interface.
san-ext-tuner enable
To enable the IP Network Simulator to simulate a variety of data network conditions, use the san-ext-tuner enable command.
san-ext-tuner enable
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
None.
Command Modes
Configuration mode.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The IP Network Simulator tool is used for network simulation and is supported on the 8-port IP Storage Services (IPS-8) module and 4-port IP Storage Services (IPS-4) module only. You must also have either the SAN extension over IP package for IPS-8 modules (SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP) or SAN extension over IP package for IPS-4 modules (SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP_IPS4), so that you can enable the SAN Extension Tuner, a prerequisite for enabling and using the network simulator.
You must have a pair of Gigabit Ethernet ports dedicated for each Ethernet path requiring simulation; these ports cannot provide FCIP or iSCSI functionality while simulation occurs. The remaining ports that are not performing network simulations can run FCIP or iSCSI. Ports dedicated to network simulation must be adjacent, and always begin with an odd-numbered port. For example, GE 1/1 and GE 1/2 would be a valid pair, while GE 2/2 and GE 2/3 would not.
Note
This command is not supported on the Cisco MDS 9124 switch, the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem, and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable the SAN Extension Tuner and enable a pair of ports for network simulation:
switch#config tswitch(config)#switch(config)#san-ext-tuner enableswitch(config)#exitswitch#switch#ips netsim enable interface gigabitethernet 2/3 gigabitethernet 2/4Related Commands

NX-OS 4.1(3)
Deleted a note from the Usage Guidelines.
NX-OS 4.1(1b)
Added a note to the Usage Guidelines.
2.0(x)
This command was introduced.
Usage Guidelines
Scheduler job configurations may not be edited. They need to be deleted and reconfigured to make changes. Jobs may comprise of multiple commands which can be entered in a single line by using ";" as the delimiter between commands.
A user's credentials are checked by the scheduler before allowing them to create, delete or run a scheduled jobs. Use the 'scheduler aaa-authetication' command to configure a remote user's (a user without local credentials) credentials. The scheduler will use these credentials to verify that the user account is still active on the aaa server each time before it starts the job.
To use the command scheduler, you do not need to obtain any license.

Command History
Usage Guidelines
The localized keys are not portable across devices as they contain information on the engine ID of the device. If a configuration file is copied into the device, the passwords may not be set correctly if the configuration file was generated at a different device. We recommend that passwords be explicitly configured to the desired passwords after copying the configuration into the device.
SNMP Version 3 is the most secure model, as it allows packet encryption with the priv keyword.
To assign multiple roles to a user, perform multiple snmp-server user username group-name commands. The group-name argument is defined by the role name command.
Examples
The following example sets the user authentication and SNMP engine ID for a notification target user:
switch# config terminalswitch(config)# snmp-server user notifUser network-admin auth sha abcd1234 engineID00:12:00:00:09:03:00:05:48:00:74:30The following example sets the user information:

static (iSCSI initiator configuration and iSLB initiator configuration)
To assign persistent WWNs to an iSCSI initiator or iSLB initiator, use the static command in iSCSI initiator configuration submode or iSLB initiator configuration submode. To disable this feature, use the no form of the command.
static {nwwn | pwwn} {wwn-id | system-assign}
no static {nwwn | pwwn} {wwn-id | system-assign}
Syntax Description
nwwn
Configures the initiator node WWN hex value.
pwwn
Configures the peer WWN for special frames.
wwn-id
Specifies the pWWN or nWWN ID.
system-assign
Generates the pWWN or nWWN value automatically.
Defaults
None.
Command Modes
iSCSI initiator configuration submode.
iSLB initiator configuration submode.
Command History
1.3(2)
This command was introduced.
3.0(1)
Added iSLB initiator configuration submode.
Usage Guidelines
We recommend using the system-assign option. If you manually assign a WWN, you must ensure its uniqueness. You should not use any previously-assigned WWN.
If you use system-assign option to configure WWNs for an iSLB initiator, when the configuration is saved to an ASCII file, the system-assigned WWNs are also saved. If you subsequently perform a write erase, you must manually delete the WWN configuration from the ASCII file. Failing to do so can cause duplicate WWN assignments if the ASCII configuration file is reapplied on the switch.
Examples
The following example uses the switch WWN pool to allocate the nWWN for this iSCSI initiator and to keep it persistent:
switch# config terminalEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.switch(config)# iscsi initiator name iqn.1987-02.com.cisco.initiatorswitch(config-iscsi-init)# static nWWN system-assignThe following example uses the switch WWN pool to allocate two pWWNs for this iSCSI initiator and to keep it persistent:
switch(config-iscsi-init)# static pWWN system-assign 2The following example shows a system-assigned pWWN for an iSLB initiator:
switch# config tswitch(config)# islb initiator ip-address 209.165.200.226switch(config-islb-init)# static pwwn system-assign 4
The following example removes the system-assigned pWWN for the iSLB initiator:

Command History
Usage Guidelines
You can specify a range of interfaces by issuing a command with the following example format:
interfacespacefc1/1space-space5space,spacefc2/5space-space7
Tip
You must perform the fcrxbbcredit extended enable command in configuration mode to use the switchport fcrxbbcredit extended command in interface configuration submode to enable extended BB_credits on a Fibre Channel interface.
The port speed on an interface, combined with the rate mode, determines the amount of shared resources available to the ports in the port group. Especially in the case of dedicated rate mode, the port group resources are reserved even though the bandwidth is not used. For example, if an interface is configured for autosensing (auto), then 4 Gbps of bandwidth is reserved even though the maximum operating speed is 2 Gbps. For the same interface, if autosensing with a maximum speed of 2 Gbps (auto max 2000) is configured, then only 2 Gbps of bandwidth is reserved and the unused 2 Gbps is shared with the other interface in the port group.
