Chapter 33: Encryption Keys
596 Section IX: Management Security
Creating an Encryption Key
This section contains the procedure for creating an encryption key pair.
Caution
Key generation is a CPU-intensive process. Because this process
may affect switch behavior, Allied Telesis recommends creating
keys when the switch is not connected to a network or during
periods of low network activity.
To create an encryption key, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 7 to select Security and Services.
The Security and Services menu is shown in Figure 71 on page 220.
2. From the Security and Services menu, type 7 to select Keys/Certificate
Configuration.
The Keys/Certificate Configuration menu is shown in Figure 221.
