5. Create a new master key. (Opaque key vaults only). Brocade Network Advisor checks for a new

master key. New master keys are generated from the Security tab located in the Encryption
Group Properties dialog box.

NOTE

A master key is not generated if the key vault type is LKM. LKM manages DEK exchanges
through a trusted link, and the LKM appliance uses its own master key to encrypt DEKs.

6. Save the switch’s public key certificate to a file. Brocade Network Advisor saves the KAC

certificate in the specified file.

dialog box. (Refer to

2. Select a switch to add from the Encryption Center Devices table, then select Switch >

Create/Add to Group from the menu task bar.

NOTE

The switch must not already be in an encryption group.
