Section VII: Management Security 515
Guidelines Here are guidelines for creating certificates:
❑ A certificate can have only one public key.
❑ A switch can use only those certificates that contain a key that it
generated itself.
❑ You can create multiple certificates on a switch, but the device will
only use the certificate whose key pair has been designated as the
active key pair for the switch’s web server.
❑ Most web browsers support both unsecured (plaintext) and
secured (encrypted) operation. These modes are referred to as
HTTP and HTTPS, respectively. If you choose to use encryption
when you manage a switch, the web browser you use must
support HTTPS.
