Importing
Keys into the

SA8220

The recommended method for importing an existing key is to copy
the key (a block of ASCII text) from your backup SA8200 key file,
then paste it into the SA8220’s console window when prompted.

For more details about copying and pasting, please see “Copying and
Pasting Keys and Certificates” in this appendix.

NOTE: Do not interrupt
the import process. If you
do interrupt the process,
delete the key and start
again.

To paste in a key:

1. Type the

import

command and press .

The CLI prompts you to paste in the key.

2. When finished, type three periods (“...”) on a separate line, then

press .

3. When the procedure is complete, you can type

info

at the

prompt to verify the key's transfer to the SA8220.

An alternative method for importing an existing key is to ftp the key,
as shown below:

config policygroup service

key

import [ {user } {password

}]

where

url

is a valid URL identifying the private key file to download

(it must be in the form,

ftp:///

),

user

is

the username, and

password

is the password.
