ˆ To upload a public key, you must first export it from the key database
into the switch’s file system. For instructions, refer to “Exporting an
Encryption Key” on page 604. Public keys have the file name
extension “.key.”
ˆ You cannot upload an encryption key pair. Key pairs have the file name
extension “.ukf.” (The prohibition against uploading an encryption key
pair is to prevent an unauthorized individual from obtaining the private
key.)
This guideline applies only to an Xmodem upload:
ˆ Xmodem can upload a file only from the switch where you started the
local management session. You cannot use Xmodem to upload a file
from a switch accessed through enhanced stacking.
These guidelines apply only to a TFTP upload:
ˆ Your network must have a node with the TFTP server software.
ˆ You should start the TFTP server software before beginning the
download procedure.
ˆ The switch must have a routing interface on the local subnet from
where it reaches the TFTP server. The switch uses the IP address of
the interface as its source address when sending packets to the TFTP
server. For switches without a routing interface, you can download the
file from a local management session of the switch using Xmodem.
