Section IV: Security

Importing an Encryption Key

Use the following procedure to import a public key from the AT-S62 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 for an
SSL public key. A switch can only use those SSL 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 559
.

1. From the Main Menu, type 8 to select Security Configuration.
