User Guidelines
This command is not saved in the router switch configuration; however, the
certificate and keys generated by this command are saved in the private
configuration. If the RSA keys do not exist, the generate parameter must be
used. The generate sub-command regenerates the RSA key pair. To save the
generated certificate and keys on the local switch and distribute the
certificate across a stack, save the configuration. Otherwise, the certificate
and keys will not be available after the next reboot.
This command generates two files:
• sslt_certN.pem
• sslt_keyN.pem
where N is the certificate number.
To use a signed certificate on the switch, perform the following steps:
• Generate the RSA and DSA keys using the crypto key generate
command for RSA followed by DSA.
• Generate a self signed certificate using the crypto key generate
command.
