firmwareKeyShow

Displays the public key used for signed firmware validation.

SYNOPSIS

firmwarekeyshow

DESCRIPTION

This command displays the contents of the public key used for validating the integrity of firmware images
when signed firmware validation is enabled.

NOTES

A firmware key should be installed on every switch as a part of the Fabric OS installation. The presence
of a firmware key does not imply that the firmware signature is checked during firmwareDownload.
Signed Firmware Download must be enabled before the public key can be used for signature validation.

Use the configure command to enable Signed Firmware Download.

If Signed Firmware Download is enabled, and if the validation succeeds, firmware download proceeds
normally. If the firmware is not signed or if the signature validation fails, signed firmware download fails.

Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for complete details on upgrading or downgrading firmware.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.

OPERANDS
