Description
This command creates a self-signed certificate. You can use the
certificate to add encryption to your web browser management sessions
of the switch. A new self-signed certificate is automatically stored in the
switch’s file system.
Before you can create a self-signed certificate, you must create an
encryption key pair. The certificate will contain the public key of the key
pair. To create a key pair, refer to “CREATE PKI CERTIFICATE” on page 388.
