Replacing the Default Secure-site Certificate
When you log onto the web interface using HTTPS (for secure access), a
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate appears for the switch. By default,
the certificate that Netscape and Internet Explorer display will be
associated with a warning that the site is not recognized as a secure site.
This is because the certificate has not been signed by an approved
certification authority. If you want this warning to be replaced by a
message confirming that the connection to the switch is secure, you must
obtain a unique certificate and a private key and password from a
recognized certification authority.
Note:
For maximum security, we recommend you obtain a unique Secure
Sockets Layer certificate at the earliest opportunity. This is because
the default certificate for the switch is not unique to the hardware
you have purchased.
When you have obtained these, place them on your TFTP server, and use
the following command at the switch's command-line interface to replace
the default (unrecognized) certificate with an authorized one:
Note:
The switch must be reset for the new certificate to be activated. To
reset the switch, type “reload” at the command prompt:
Console#reload
Console#copy tftp https-certificate
