Using the CLI to configure a PSK

Master Controller

On the master controller you can configure a specific IPSec PSK for a local controller and use the localip 0.0.0.0 ipsec command:

NOTE: You need to change the secret key to a non-default PSK key value even if you use a per-local controller PSK key

configuration.

localip 0.0.0.0 ipsec <secret_key> localip <ipaddr> ipsec <secret_key>

Local Controller

On the local controller the secret key (PSK) must match the master controller’s PSK.

masterip <ipaddr> ipsec <secret_key> [fqdn <fqdn>][uplink][vlan <id>]

Configuring a Controller Certificate

The following sections describe how to use the command-line interface to select a factory-installed or custom certificate for secure inter-controller communication.

Using the CLI to configure a Local Controller Certificate

•Issue the following command on a master controller to configure the factory-installed certificate for secure communication between that master and a local controller.

local-factory-cert local-mac <lmac>

In this command, <lmac> is the MAC address of the local controller’s factory-installed certificate.

•Issue the following command on a master controller to configure a custom certificate for secure communication between that master and a local controller.
