User Guidelines

Use this command to export a certificate request to a Certification Authority.

The certificate request is generated in Base64-encoded X.509 format.
Before generating a certificate request, first generate a self-signed certificate

using the crypto cerificate generate command to generate the keys. The

certificate fields must be re-entered.
After receiving the certificate from the Certification Authority, use the crypto

cerificate import command to import the certificate into the device. This

certificate replaces the self-signed certificate.
