Chapter 34 Configuring Certificate Authorities and Digital Certificates
Configuring CAs and Digital Certificates
Creating a Trust Point CA Association
To create a trust point CA association, follow these steps:
Authenticating the CA
The configuration process of trusting a CA is complete only when the CA is authenticated to the MDS
switch. The switch must authenticate the CA. It does this by obtaining the self-signed certificate of the
CA in PEM format, which contains the public key of the CA. Because the certificate of the CA is
self-signed (the CA signs its own certificate) the public key of the CA should be manually authenticated
by contacting the CA administrator to compare the fingerprint of the CA certificate.
Note
If the CA being authenticated is not a self-signed CA (that is, it is a subordinate CA to another CA, which
itself may be a subordinate to yet another CA, and so on, finally ending in a self-signed CA), then the
full list of the CA certificates of all the CAs in the certification chain needs to be input during the CA
authentication step. This is called the
CA certificate chain
of the CA being authenticated. The maximum
number of certificates in a CA certificate chain is 10.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
switch(config)#
crypto ca trustpoint admin-ca
switch(config-trustpoint)#
Declares a trust point CA that the switch
should trust and enters trust point
configuration submode.
Note
The maximum number of trust points
you can declare on a switch is 16.
switch(config)#
no crypto ca trustpoint
admin-ca
Removes the trust point CA.
Step 2
switch(config-trustpoint)#
enroll terminal
Specifies manual cut-and-paste certificate
enrollment (default).
Note
Manual cut-and-paste certificate
enrollment is the only method
supported for enrollment.
Step 3
switch(config-trustpoint)#
rsakeypair SwitchA
Specifies the label of the RSA key-pair to be
associated to this trust point for the purpose
of enrollment. It was generated earlier in the
“Generating an RSA Key-Pair” section on
page 34-6
. Only one RSA key-pair can be
specified per CA.
switch(config-trustpoint)#
no rsakeypair
SwitchA
Disassociates the RSA key-pair from the trust
point (default).
Step 4
switch(config-trustpoint)#
end
switch#
Exits trust point configuration submode.
Step 5
switch#
copy running-config startup-config
Copies the running configuration to the
startup configuration to ensure the
configuration is persistent across reboots.
