Cryptography Commands

A digital certificate is a form of electronic identification for computers. The switch requires digital certificates to authenticate its communications to Web View, to WebAAA clients, and to Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) clients for which the switch performs all EAP processing. Certificates can be generated on the switch or obtained from a certificate authority (CA). Keys contained within the certificates allow the switch, its servers, and its wireless clients to exchange information secured by encryption.

Note: If the switch does not already have certificates, MSS automatically generates the missing ones the first time you boot using MSS Version 4.2 or later. You do not need to install certificates unless you want to replace the ones automatically generated by MSS.

Note: Before installing a new certificate, verify with the show timedate and show timezone commands that the switch is set to the correct date, time, and time zone. Otherwise, certificates might not be installed correctly.
