cts cache
To enable caching of TrustSec authorization and environment data information to DRAM and NVRAM,
use the cts cache global configuration command. Use the no form of the command to disable caching.

dir] | disk0: [dir] | disk1: [dir] | sup-bootflash: [image]}
}
Syntax Description
Defaults The default is caching disabled.

Supported User Roles Administrator
Command History
Usage Guidelines The cts cache command enables caching of authentication, authorization and environment-data
information to DRAM. Caching is for the maintenance and reuse of information obtained through
authentication and authorization. Keystore provides for secure storage of a device's own credentials
(passwords, certificates, PACs) either in software or on a specialized hardware component. In the
absence of a dedicated hardware keystore, a software emulation keystore is created using DRAM and
NVRAM.
Cisco TrustSec creates a secure cloud of devices in a network by requiring that each device authenticate
and authorize its neighbors with a trusted AAA server (Cisco Secure ACS 5.1 or more recent) before
being granted access to the TrustSec network. Once the authentication and authorization is complete, the
information could be valid for some time. If caching is enabled, that information can be reused, allowing
the network device to bring up links without having to connect with the ACS, thus expediting the
enable Enables CTS cache support
nv-storage Causes DRAM cache updates to be written to non-volatile storage and
enables DRAM cache to be initially populated from nv-storage when the
network device boots.
bootflash: dir Specifies bootflash dir as the nv-storage location.
disk0: dir Specifies disk 0 directory as the nv-storage location.
disk1: dir Specifies disk 1 directory as the nv-storage location.
sup-bootflash: image Specifies a supervisor bootflash directory as the nv-storage location.
