Replacing the Default Secure-site Certificate

When you log onto the web interface using HTTPS (for secure access), a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate appears for

the switch. By default, the certificate that Netscape and Internet Explorer display will be associated with a warning that the site is

not recognized as a secure site. This is because the certificate has not been signed by an approved certification authority. If you

want this warning to be replaced by a message confirming that the connection to the switch is secure, you must obtain a unique

certificate and a private key and password from a recognized certification authority.

For maximum security, we recommend you obtain a unique Secure Sockets Layer certificate at

the earliest opportunity. This is because the default certificate for the switch is not unique to the

hardware you have purchased.

When you have obtained these, place them on your TFTP server, and use the following command at the switch's command-line

interface to replace the default (unrecognized) certificate with an authorized one:

The Managed witch must be reset for the new certificate to be activated.

To reset the Managed switch, type:

Console# reload
