Installing CA Certificates onto a Switch

This section lists the procedures for installing a certificate created by a
public or private CA onto the switch. It should be noted that a CA
generated certificate will consist of several certificates, with a minimum of
two. All the certificates from the CA must be installed on the switch.

Note

A CA certificate can only be used on the switch where you created
its certificate request. The certificate will not work on any other
switch.

To install CA certificates on a switch, perform the following procedure:

1. Download the certificates from your management workstation or FTP

server to the AT-S62 file system on the switch. For instructions, refer to
“Downloading a System File” on page 202.

2. Load the certificates into the certificate database. For instructions,

refer to “Adding a Certificate to the Database” on page 722.

3. Activate HTTPS on the switch by configuring the web server and

specifying the key pair used to create the enrollment request as the
active key pair. For instructions, refer to “Configuring the Web Server”
on page 683.
