Operands
certificate
Creates a security certificate on the switch. The security certificate is required to establish an SSL
connection with a management application such as Simple SAN Connection Manager. The
certificate is valid 24 hours before the certificate creation date and expires 365 days after the
creation date. Should the current certificate become invalid, use the
create certificate
command to create a new one.
NOTE:
To insure the creation of a valid certificate, be sure that the switch and the
workstation time and date are the same. See also the following commands:
•
date
command for information about setting the time and date
•
set timezone
command for information about setting the time zone on the switch and
workstation
•
set setup system
command for information about enabling the Network Time
Protocol for synchronizing the time and date on the switch and workstation from an NTP
server.
support
Assembles all log files and switch memory data into a file (
dump_support.tgz
) on the switch.
If your workstation has an FTP server, you can proceed with the command prompts to send the
file from the switch to a remote host. Otherwise, you can use FTP to download the support file
from the switch to your workstation. The support file is useful to technical support personnel for
troubleshooting switch problems. Use this command when directed by your authorized
maintenance provider. This operand does not require an Admin session.
NOTE:
Support files are deleted from the switch during a power-cycle or switch reset.
Examples
The following is an example of the
create certificate
command:
8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> create certificate
The current date and time is day mon date hh:mm:ss UTC yyyy.
This is the time used to stamp onto the certificate.
Is the date and time correct? (y/n): [n] y
Certificate generation successful.
