To configure this feature, use commands such as the following:

Virtual ADX(config)#ssl profile sp1

Virtual ADX(config-ssl-profile-sp1)#cipher-suite rsa-with-aes-128-sha

Virtual ADX(config-ssl-profile-sp1)#cipher-suite rsa-with-rc4-128-md5

Virtual ADX(config-ssl-profile-sp1)#cipher-suite rsa-with-rc4-128-sha

Specifying a certificate file

Each SSL profile must be associated with a certificate file that was either imported or self
generated as described in

“Chained certificates”

on page 100. The following example uses the

certificate-file command to associate the certificate file named "certfile1" with the "profile1" SSL
profile.

Virtual ADX(config)#ssl profile profile1

Virtual ADX(config-ssl-profile-profile1)#certificate-file certfile1

Syntax: certificate-file certificate-file-name

The certificate-file-name variable is an ASCII string that specifies a certificate file that either self
generated on the Brocade Virtual ADX using the ssl gencert command or imported into the Brocade
Virtual ADX as described in

“Chained certificates”

on page 100.
