ˆ To upload a public key, you must first export it from the key database
into the switch’s file system. For instructions, refer to “Exporting an
Encryption Key” on page 773. Public keys have the file name
extension “.key.”
ˆ You cannot upload an encryption key pair. Key pairs have the file name
extension “.ukf.” (The prohibition against uploading an encryption key
pair is to prevent an unauthorized individual from obtaining the private
key.)
This guideline applies only to an Xmodem upload:
ˆ Xmodem can upload a file only from the switch where you started the
local management session. You cannot use Xmodem to upload a file
from a switch accessed through enhanced stacking.
These guidelines apply only to a TFTP upload:
ˆ Your network must have a node with the TFTP server software.
ˆ You should start the TFTP server software before beginning the
download procedure.
ˆ The switch must have an IP address and subnet mask, such as a
master switch of an enhanced stack. For switches that do not have an
IP address, such as slave switches, you can perform the upload from a
local management session of the switch using Xmodem.
