Before the switch can use a certificate, it must be retrieved and manually
added to the switch’s Certificate Database, which is stored in RAM
memory. The switch attempts to validate the certificate, and if validation
is successful the certificate’s public key is available for use.
Root CA Certificate Validation
Root CA certificates are verified out of band by comparing the
certificate’s fingerprint (the encrypted one-way hash with which the
issuing CA signs the certificate) with the fingerprint which the CA has
supplied by a non-network-based method. To view a certificate’s
fingerprint, use the procedure described in Viewing a Certificate on page
678.
