3. Define the following configuration parameters required to Create New Certificate Signing
Request (CSR):
4. Set the following Certificate Subject Name parameters required for the creation of the
certificate:
5. Select the following Additional Credentials required for the generation of the CSR:
6. Select the Generate CSR button to produce the CSR.
Port Mirroring (NX4524 and NX6524 Service Platforms only)
NX4524 and NX6524 model service platforms have the ability to mirror data packets transmitted
or received on any of their GE ports (GE port 1 - 24). Both transmit and receive packets can be
mirrored from a source to a destination port as needed to provide traditional spanning functionality
on the 24 GE ports.
RSA Key Select a radio button and use the drop-down menu to set the key used by both the
controller or service platform and the server (or repository) of the target RSA key.
Optionally select Create New to use new RSA key and provide a 32 character name
used to identify the RSA key. Use the spinner control to set the size of the key (from
1,024 - 2,048 bits). Brocade recommends leaving this value at the default setting of
1024 to ensure optimum functionality.
Certificate Subject
Name Select either the auto-generate radio button to automatically create the certificate's
subject credentials or user-defined to manually enter the credentials of the self
signed certificate. The default setting is auto-generate.
Country (C) Define the Country used in the CSR. The field can be modified by the user to other
values. This is a required field and must not exceed 2 characters.
State (ST) Enter a State/Prov. for the state or province name represented in the CSR. This is a
required field.
City (L) Enter a City represented in the CSR. This is a required field.
Organization (O) Define the Organization represented in the CSR. This is a required field.

Common Name (CN) If there’s a common name (IP address) for the organizational unit issuing the
certificate, enter it here.
Email Address Provide an email address used as the contact address for issues relating to this CSR.
Domain Name) Enter a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is an unambiguous domain name that
specifies the node's position in the DNS tree hierarchy absolutely. To distinguish an
FQDN from a regular domain name, a trailing period is added. ex:
somehost.example.com. An FQDN differs from a regular domain name by its
absoluteness; as a suffix is not added.
IP Address Specify the IP address used as the destination for certificate requests.
