76DSR1021/1022 Switch Installer/User Guide
If the server running DSView 3 software cannot contact the DSR1021/1022 switch to add the certificate, an error message displays and the DSR1021/1022 switch is not added to the database.
Secure Mode
The DSR1021/1022 switch operates in one of two modes: Security disabled or Security enabled.
•In Security disabled mode, the DSR1021/1022 switch allows any server running DSView 3 software to communicate with it.
•In Security enabled mode, an initial server running DSView 3 software can download a certificate to the switch. If that server is part of a system that replicates certificates, it passes the certificate to the other servers in that certificate replication system. Thereafter, all servers in that system will be allowed to access the DSR1021/1022 switch. All servers that are not part of that system will be locked out.
When the DSR1021/1022 switch is removed from the DSView 3 software database, the certificate is removed from the DSR1021/1022 switch. This enables you to move the DSR1021/1022 switch from one certificate replication system to another. You can also remove the certificate by using the Console menu accessed via the SETUP port on the DSR1021/1022 switch. See the
Reset Certificates section on page 75 for instructions.
See the DSView Installer/User Guide for more information on software security.
