What does the CHAP secret accomplish for an E-Series system?

AiSCSI authentication

BEthernet management authentication

CFC authentication

DSAS authentication

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol): CHAP is a protocol used to authenticate the identity of an initiator or target in iSCSI communications. This ensures that only authorized devices can connect to the storage array over the iSCSI network.

Implementation in E-Series: In the context of E-Series systems, CHAP secrets are configured to provide an additional layer of security by requiring both the initiator and target to authenticate each other using a shared secret before establishing an iSCSI session.

Wait, is this a trick question? I'm going to have to go with D just to be safe. You can never have too much SAS authentication, right?

SAS authentication, really? That's so last year. B is where it's at for Ethernet management.

CHAP secret? Sounds like a secret sauce for the E-Series system. I'll go with option A - gotta keep that iSCSI authentication on lock!
