Cryptography Commands
A digital certificate is a form of electronic identification for computers. The switch requires digital
certificates to authenticate its communications to Web View, to WebAAA clients, and to Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) clients for which the switch performs all EAP processing. Certificates
can be generated on the switch or obtained from a certificate authority (CA). Keys contained within the
certificates allow the switch, its servers, and its wireless clients to exchange information secured by
encryption.
Note: If the switch does not already have certificates, MSS automatically generates the missing
ones the first time you boot using MSS Version 4.2 or later. You do not need to install certificates
unless you want to replace the ones automatically generated by MSS.
Note: Before installing a new certificate, verify with the show timedate and show timezone
commands that the switch is set to the correct date, time, and time zone. Otherwise, certificates
might not be installed correctly.
