API Guide

install the key from a local hidden location. After the certificate is successfully installed, the private
key is deleted from the specified key-path location and copied to the hidden location.
● password passphrase — (Optional) Enter the password used to decrypt the private key if it was
generated using a password.
● fips — (Optional) Install the certificate-key pair as FIPS-compliant. Enter fips to install a
certificate-key pair that a FIPS-aware application, such as RADIUS over TLS, uses. If you do not enter
fips, the certificate-key pair is stored as a non-FIPS compliant pair.
Default Not configured
Command mode EXEC
Usage
information
Before using the crypto cert install command, copy a CA-signed certificate to the home
directory on the switch using a secure connection, such as HTTPS, SCP, or SFTP, and (optionally) the
private key. To delete a trusted certificate, use the crypto cert delete command.
A successful installation of a trusted certificate requires that:
● The downloaded certificate is correctly formatted.
● The downloaded certificate’s public key corresponds to the private key.
You can assign an installed certificate-key pair to a security profile by entering the file name of the
certificate without an extension.
It is possible to store a certificate in either FIPS mode or non-FIPS mode on the switch, but not in both
modes, using the crypto cert install command and the optional fips option. You must ensure
that certificates installed in FIPS mode are compliant with the FIPS 140-2 standard.
Example
OS10# crypto cert install cert-file home://Dell_host1_CA1.pem key-file
home://Dell_host1_CA1.key
Processing certificate ...
Certificate and keys were successfully installed as "Dell_host1_CA1.pem"
that may be used in a security profile. CN = Dell_host1_CA1.
