Fabric OS Command Reference

53-1001764-02

firmwareKeyShow

Displays the public key used for signed firmware validation.

Synopsis

firmwarekeyshow

Description

This command displays the contents of the public key used for validating the integrity of firmware
images when signed firmware validation is enabled.

Notes

A firmware key should be installed on every switch as a part of the Fabric OS installation. The
presence of a firmware key does not imply that the firmware signature is checked during
firmwareDownload. Signed Firmware Download must be enabled before the public key can be used
for signature validation.

Use the configure command to enable Signed Firmware Download.

If Signed Firmware Download is enabled, and if the validation succeeds, firmware download
proceeds normally. If the firmware is not signed or if the signature validation fails, signed firmware
download fails.

Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for complete details on upgrading or downgrading
firmware.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, “Using Fabric OS commands” and Appendix A, “Command
Availability” for details.
