switch(config)# aaa authentication iscsi default group iscsi-radius-group
Set up the iSCSI authentication method to require CHAP for all iSCSI clients.
Step 4
switch(config)# iscsi authentication chap
Verify that the global iSCSI authentication setup is for CHAP.
Step 5
switch# show iscsi global
iSCSI Global information
Authentication: CHAP

Verify that the AAA authentication information is for iSCSI.
Step 6
