Overview
To use the encryption capabilities of the Nortel SNAS, you must add a key
and certificate that conforms to the X.509 standard.
The key and certificate apply to the cluster. It does not matter whether
you connect to the Management IP address (MIP) or Real IP address
(RIP) of a Nortel SNAS device in order to manage Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) certificates. When you add a key and certificate to one Nortel SNAS
device in the cluster, the information is automatically propagated to all
other devices in the cluster.
