On a master controller, click New under Local Controller IPSec Keys. then enter the local controller IP address and then enter and retype the IPSec key. Click Add.

3.Click Apply.

Using the WebUI to configure a Master Controller PSK

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.
