Command History

Usage Guidelines AAA uses the services in the specified authentication list to perform Enable, Login or iSCSI

authentication. Use this command to test iSCSI authentication prior to enabling authentication for SCSI

routing instances or for troubleshooting purposes.

Use the cancel keyword to terminate any outstanding test authentication requests. For example, if a

RADIUS or TACACS+ server is configured with a very long timeout value, you can cancel the request

rather than waiting for the timeout to occur.

In a cluster environment, AAA management functions are handled by a single storage router. To

determine which storage router is performing AAA management functions, issue the show cluster

command. If you issue the aaa test authentication command from a storage router that is not

performing AAA management functions, the CLI displays an informational message with the name of

the node that is currently handling those functions.
