See “Manually Setting the Date and Time” on page 117 or
“Activating the SNTP Client and Specifying the IP Address of an
NTP or SNTP Server” on page 369.
Mode
Global Configuration mode
Description
Use this command to create self-signed certificates for secure HTTPS
web browser management of the switch. All the parameters in the
command are required.
Entering the WRITE or COPY RUNNING-CONFIG STARTUP-CONFIG
command after creating a self-signed certificate is unnecessary because
certificates are not stored in the active boot configuration file.
Generating a certificate is CPU intensive. It should be performed
before the switch is connected to your network or during periods of
low network activity.
Confirmation Command
