Importing an Encryption Key

Use the following procedure to import a public key from the AT-S63 file
system into the key management database. If a file contains both public
and private keys, only the public key is imported. The private key is
ignored.

Note

It is unlikely that you will ever need to perform this procedure. A
switch can only use those public keys that it has generated itself.

This procedure starts from the Key Management menu. If you are unsure
how to display the menu, perform steps 1 to 3 in “Creating an Encryption
Key” on page 596.
