DESCRIPTION

PKI Storage

Space in Use

This bar displays the percentage of the ZyXEL Device’s PKI storage space that is

currently in use. The bar turns from green to red when the maximum is being

approached. When the bar is red, you should consider deleting expired or

unnecessary certificates before adding more certificates.

Replace

This button displays when the ZyXEL Device has the factory default certificate.

The factory default certificate is common to all ZyXEL Devices that use

certificates. ZyXEL recommends that you use this button to replace the factory

default certificate with one that uses your ZyXEL Device's MAC address.

#

alphabetical order.

you give each certificate a unique name.

the My Certificate Import screen to import the certificate and replace the request.

*SELF represents the default self-signed certificate, which the ZyXEL Device uses

to sign imported trusted remote host certificates.
CERT represents a certificate issued by a certification authority.

company) and C (Country). It is recommended that each certificate have unique

subject information.

authority, such as a common name, organizational unit or department,

same information as in the Subject field.
