Switch Management Commands 2291
crypto certificate import
Use the crypto certificate import command in Global Configuration mode to
import a certificate signed by the Certification Authority for HTTPS.
Syntax
crypto certificate number import
• number — Specifies the certificate number. (Range: 1–2)
Default Configuration
This command has no default configuration.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
Use this command to enter an external certificate (signed by the Certification
Authority) to the switch. To end the session, add a period (.) on a separate
line after the input, and press ENTER.
The imported certificate must be based on a certificate request created by the
crypto certificate request Privileged Exec command.
If the public key found in the certificate does not match the switch's SSL RSA
key, the command fails.
This command is not saved in the router configuration; however, the
certificate imported by this command is saved in the private configuration
(which is never displayed to the user or backed up to another switch).
Example
The following example imports a certificate signed by the Certification
Authority for HTTPS.
console(config)#crypto certificate 1 import
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
