Section IX: Management Security

Creating an Encryption Key

This section contains the procedure for creating an encryption key pair.

Caution

Key generation is a CPU-intensive process. Because this process
may affect switch behavior, Allied Telesis recommends creating
keys when the switch is not connected to a network or during
periods of low network activity.

To create an encryption key, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 7 to select Security and Services.

The Security and Services menu is shown in Figure 71 on page 220.

2. From the Security and Services menu, type 7 to select Keys/Certificate

Configuration.

The Keys/Certificate Configuration menu is shown in Figure 221.
