Creating an Encryption Key

This section contains the procedure for creating an encryption key pair.

Caution

Key generation is a CPU-intensive process. Because this process
may affect switch behavior, Allied Telesyn recommends performing
it when the switch is not connected to a network or during periods of
low network activity.

To create an encryption key pair, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 7 to select Security and Services.

2. From the Security and Services menu, type 7 to select Keys/

Certificates Configuration.

The Keys/Certificates Configuration menu is shown in Figure 238.
