Switch Management Commands 2310
• Generate a certificate request using the crypto certificate request
command. This command uses the DSA keys and the self signed
certificate.
• Copy the certificate request displayed on the screen and send it to a CA.
• When the signed certificate is received, copy the signed certificate onto
the switch using the crypto certificate import command
