onto the local and remote switches.

1. Log in to the switch using an account assigned to the admin role.

2. Enter the secCertUtil import –fcapswcert command and verify the CA certificates are

consistent on both local and remote switches.

switch:admin> seccertutil import -fcapcacert
Select protocol [ftp or scp]: scp
Enter IP address: 10.1.2.3
Enter remote directory: /myHome/jdoe/OPENSSL
Enter certificate name (must have a ".pem" suffix):CACert.pem
Enter Login Name: jdoe

certificates.
