Installing CA Certificates onto a Switch

This section lists the procedures to perform for a certificate from a public or
private CA. It should be noted that a CA generated certificate will consist of
several certificates, with a minimum of two. All the certificates from the CA
must be installed on the switch and loaded into the certificate database.

Note

A certificate from a CA can only be used on the switch where you
created the encryption key pair and enrollment request. Do not
install the certificate on any other switch.

To install CA certificates on a switch, perform the following procedure:

1. Download the certificates from your management station or FTP

server to the AT-S63 file system on the switch. For instructions, refer to
“Downloading a System File” on page 236.

2. Load the certificates into the certificate database. For instructions,

refer to “Adding a Certificate to the Database” on page 805.

3. Activate HTTPS on the switch by configuring the web server and

specifying the key pair used to create the enrollment request as the
active key pair. For instructions, refer to “Configuring the Web Server”
on page 761.
