Chapter 33: Web Server Commands

11. Activate the web server using ENABLE HTTP SERVER on page 498
The following is an example of the command sequence for configuring
the web server for a CA certificate. It explains how to create an
encryption key pair and enrollment request, and how to download the
CA certificates on the switch. (The example does not include step 1,
setting the system time, nor the procedure for submitting the request to
a CA, which will vary depending on the CA’s enrollment requirements.)
1. This command creates the encryption key pair with an ID of 8, a
length of 512 bits, and the description “Switch 24 key”:
create enco key=8 type=rsa length=512
description=”Switch 24 key”
2. This command sets the switch’s distinguished name to a master
switch’s IP address of 149.44.44.44:
set system distinguishedname=”cn=149.44.44.44”
3. This command creates an enrollment request using the encryption
key created in step 1. It assigns the request the filename
“sw24cer.csr”. The command omits the “.csr” extension because the
management software adds it automatically:
create pki enrollmentrequest=sw24cer keypair=8
4. This command uploads the enrollment request from the switch’s file
system to a TFTP server. The command assumes that the TFTP server
has the IP address 149.88.88.88. (This step could also be performed
using Xmodem.)
upload method=tftp destfile=c:sw24cer.csr
server=149.88.88.88 file=sw24cer.csr
5. These commands download the CA certificates into the switch’s file
system from the TFTP server. The commands assume that the IP
address of the server is 149.88.88.88 and that the certificate names are
“sw24cer.cer” and “ca.cer”. (This step could be performed using
Xmodem.)
load method=tftp destfile=sw24cer.cer
server=149.88.88.88 file=c:sw24cer.cer
load method=tftp destfile=ca.cer
server=149.88.88.88 file=c:ca.cer
6. These commands load the certificates into the certificate database:
add pki certificate=”Switch 24 certificate”
location=sw24cert.cer
add pki certificate=”CA certificate”
location=ca.cer
7. This command disables the web server:
disable http server
