3. Enable system security
To enable system security, use the command:
ENABLE SYSTEM SECURITY
4. Create an RSA key pair for this switch.
To create an RSA key pair, use the command:
CREATE ENCO KEY=0 TYPE=RSA LENGTH=1024
5. Set the switch’s distinguished name.
To set the switch’s distinguished name to
"cn=switch1,o=my_company,c=us", use the command:
SET SYSTEM DISTINGUISHEDNAME="cn=switch1,
o=my_company,c=us"
6. Set the UTC offset.
To set the Universal Coordinated Time to inform the switch that the
difference between local time and GMT is 7 hours, use the command:

7. Create a self-signed certificate for the switch.
To create a PKI certificate without contacting a CA for browsing to the GUI,
use the command:
CREATE PKI CERTIFICATE=cer_name KEYPAIR=0
SERIALNUMBER=12345 SUBJECT="cn=172.30.1.105,
o=my_company, c=us"
Using this command creates a certificate that is only suitable for secure switch
management via the GUI. A pop-up message will appear in the browser
window warning that the certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. You
should create a certificate via a Certification Authority if you want to use SSL
with the Load Balancer. For details, see the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
chapter of your Software Reference.

To load the signed switch certificate onto the switch, use the command:
ADD PKI CERTIFICATE=cer_name LOCATION=cer_name.cer
TRUST=YES
