User Guidelines

Use this command to generate a certificate request to send to a Certification

Authority. The certificate request is generated in Base64-encoded X.509

format.

Before generating a certificate request, you must first generate a self-signed

certificate using the crypto certificate generate command in order to sign the

certificate request. Make sure to reenter the identical values in the certificate

request fields as were entered in the self-signed certificate generated by the

crypto certificate generate command.

After receiving the certificate from the Certification Authority, use the crypto

certificate import command in Global Configuration mode to import the

certificate into the switch. This certificate replaces the self-signed certificate.

Use the

end

command to exit Crypto Certificate Request mode without

generating a certificate request. Use the

exit

command to exit Crypto

Certificate Request mode and generate a certificate request.

Example

console(config)#crypto certificate 1 request

console(config-crypto-cert)#common-name DELL
