Use this command to generate a certificate request to send to a Certification
Authority. The certificate request is generated in Base64-encoded X.509
format.
Before generating a certificate request, you must first generate a self-signed
certificate using the crypto certificate generate command in order to sign the
certificate request. Make sure to reenter the identical values in the certificate
request fields as were entered in the self-signed certificate generated by the
crypto certificate generate command.
After receiving the certificate from the Certification Authority, use the crypto
certificate import command in Global Configuration mode to import the
certificate into the switch. This certificate replaces the self-signed certificate.
Use the
end
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.
