■ Root Certificate: A trusted certificate used by certificate authorities to

sign certificates (CA-Signed Certificates) and used later on to verify that

authenticity of those signed certificates. Trusted certificates are distrib-

uted as an integral part of most popular web clients. (see browser docu-

mentation for which root certificates are pre-installed).

■ Operator Level: Operator privileges on the switch.

■ Local password or username: A Manager-level or Operator-level pass-

word configured in the switch.

■ SSL Enabled: (1)A certificate key pair has been generated on the switch

(web interface or CLI command: crypto key generate cert [key size]

(2) A certificate been generated on the switch (web interface or CLI

command: crypto host-cert generate self-signed [arg-list]) and (3) SSL is

enabled (web interface or CLI command: web-management ssl). (You can

generate a certificate without enabling SSL, but you cannot enable SSL

without first generating a Certificate.
