	Creates a security certificate on the switch. The security certificate is required to
	establish an SSL connection with a management application such as SANsurfer
	Switch Manager. The certificate is valid 24 hours before the certificate creation
	date and expires 365 days after the creation date. Should the current certificate
	become invalid, use the Create Certificate command to create a new one.
	Note:	To insure the creation of a valid certificate, be sure that the switch and

the workstation time and date are the same. Refer to the following:

„ ”Date Command” on page A-22for information about setting the time and date

„ ”Set Command” on page A-59(Timezone keyword) for information about setting the time zone on the switch and workstation

„ ”Set Setup Command” on page A-81(System keyword) for information about enabling the Network Time Protocol for synchronizing the time and date on the switch and workstation from an NTP server.

support

Assembles all log files and switch memory data into a core dump file

(dump_support.tgz) on the switch. If your workstation has an FTP server, you can proceed with the command prompts to send the file from the switch to a remote host. Otherwise, you can use FTP to download the support file from the switch to your workstation. The support file is useful to technical support personnel for troubleshooting switch problems. Use this command when directed by your authorized maintenance provider.
