Fabric OS Command Reference 219

firmwareKeyShow

Displays the public key used for signed firmware validation.

Synopsis firmwarekeyshow

Description This command displays the contents of the public key used for validating the integrity of firmware

images when signed firmware validation is enabled.

Notes A firmware key should be installed on every switch as a part of the Fabric OS installation. The

presence of a firmware key does not imply that the firmware signature will be checked during

firmwareDownload. Signed Firmware Download must be enabled before the public key can be used

for signature validation.

Use the configure command to enable Signed Firmware Download.

If Signed Firmware Download is enabled, and if the validation succeeds, firmware download will

proceed normally. If the firmware is not signed or if the signature validation fails, signed firmware

download will fail

Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for complete details on upgrading or downgrading

firmware.

Operands .none
