DESCRIPTION

PKI Storage

This bar displays the percentage of the ZyWALL’s PKI storage space that is

Space in Use

currently in use. When the storage space is almost full, you should consider

 

deleting expired or unnecessary certificates before adding more certificates.

 

 

Replace

This button displays when the ZyWALL has the factory default certificate. The

 

factory default certificate is common to all ZyWALLs that use certificates. ZyXEL

 

recommends that you use this button to replace the factory default certificate with

 

one that uses your ZyWALL's MAC address.

 

 

#

This field displays the certificate index number. The certificates are listed in

 

alphabetical order.

 

 

Name

you give each certificate a unique name.

 

 

Type

the My Certificate Import screen to import the certificate and replace the request.

 

SELF represents a self-signed certificate.

 

*SELF represents the default self-signed certificate, which the ZyWALL uses to

 

sign imported trusted remote host certificates.
