out cacert.pem
2. openssl x509 -req -in a.csr -out
cert.pem -CA cacert.pem -
CAkey cakey.pem –

This would generate the certificate file
cert.pem.
Open the generate certificate file
cert.pem. Delete the first line (---BEGIN

CERTIFICATE--). Join all the remaining
lines together as a single line to avoid
line breaks from being processed.
Copy & paste these joined texts at the

This section describes the steps to save and manage the configuration files on the switch. It also
describes the firmware upgrade and the “restore to factory defaults” functions.

Follow the steps below to write an existing switch configuration as the startup configuration.
