commands to verify the switch configuration. The CLI commands are detailed in the encryption
administrator’s guide for your key vault management system.
1. Initialize the switch. If the switch is not already in the initiated state, the Management
application performs the cryptocfg
--
initnode command.
2. Create an encryption group on the switch. The Management application creates a new group
using the cryptocfg
--
create
-
encgroup command, and sets the key vault type using the
cryptocfg
--
set
-
keyvault command.
