Switch Management Commands 2314

certificate import command in Global Configuration mode to import the
certificate into the switch. This certificate replaces the self-signed certificate.
Use the

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.
