Importing an IKEv2 Digital Certificate
To import an IKEv2 digital certificate for authentication:
1.
Import the CA certificate file.
2.
Import the host key file.
3.
Import the host certificate file.
Note:
When prompted for the port to use for download the file, if you used a
management port to connect the switch to the server, enter
mgt
, otherwise enter

Generating a Certificate Signing Request
Before a digital certificate can be signed by a Certificate Authority (CA), it needs to
be created. The generation of a certificate involves creating a Certificate Signing
Request (CSR). The CSR includes various information related to the device and a
public key. The public key is included in the CSR file itself and the private key
associated with the public key is generated separately and kept private. The CSR
can then be exported to a remote device to be signed by a CA.
1.
Create an HTTPS CSR defining the information you want to be used in the various
fields:
