Switch Management Commands 2319
User Guidelines
The switch must be configured with RSA and DSA keys (crypto key generate)
prior to enabling the HTTP server. Optionally, the switch may be provisioned
with up to two signed certificates.
Dell EMC Networking N-Series switches support HTTPS over IPv4 and IPv6.
Example
The following example enables the switch to be configured from a browser
using HTTPS.
console(config)#ip http secure-server
key-generate
Use the key-generate command in Crypto Certificate Generation mode to
generate a new RSA key prior to generating the certificate key. The certificate
generated by a crypto certificate generate command is not a signed certificate
and is used to generate a certificate signing request. Once a signed certificate
is received, download the certificate to the switch.
Syntax
key-generate [length]
• length — Specifies the length of the SSL RSA key. If left unspecified,
this parameter defaults to 1024. (Range: 512–2048)
Default Configuration
By default, the certificate generation process will utilize existing RSA keys.
Command Mode
Crypto Certificate Generation mode
User Guidelines
This command mode is entered using the crypto certificate request
command. You must use the key-generate command prior to exiting the
crypto certificate request mode to properly generate a certificate request. All
