Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch CLI-based Administration Guide
Configuring BPI and BPI+ Parameters 459
Before you configure trust and validity for certificates, you must create the
/bas/data/certification directory in Linux on the Cuda 12000. Certificates
will reside in this directory. To create this directory, access Linux on the Cuda
12000 through the local console or an SSH session with sufficient access
privileges (such as root). Then, use the Linux mkdir command to create the
directory.
filename The CM Configuration file name associated to
the certificate. These certificates res ide in the
following directory in Linux on the Cuda 12000:
/bas/data/certification
chained Specifies that the certificate’s level of trust is
chained. In order for a chained certificate to be
valid, it must meet several criteria, such as:
■The certificate is linked to a Root, Trusted, or
Valid certificate.
■The certificate’s signature can be verified with
the issuer’s public key.
■The current time falls within the validity period
of each Chained or Root certificate within the
certificate chain.
root Specifies that the certificate’s level of trust is root.
Note that only the DOCSIS Root CA Certificate (a
self-signed certificate containing the DOCSIS
Root CA's trusted public key) must be marked as
Root. However, a CMTS MAY support multiple
Root CA Certificates. At least one root certificate
must be provisioned.
