UPLOADING A SELF-CERTIFICATE TO THE NETVANTA
Introduction
The NetVanta 2000 series supports the use of both RSA and DSS Signature Algorithm Certificates. The
NetVanta 2000 series provides the capability to generate self-certificate requests, and maintains a listing of
private keys (certificate requests) that currently have no public key (self-certificate assigned by the
Certificate Authority).
Before you can load the self-certificate provided by your Certificate Authority (CA) to the NetVanta 2000
series, you must load the CA’s certificate to the NetVanta 2000 series. Without the CA’s certificate the
NetVanta 2000 series cannot verify the received self-certificate.
This DLP discusses the steps for uploading a CA certificate from a test certificate website
(isakmp-test.ssh.fi). DLP-017 discusses generating the self-certificate request and DLP-018 discusses
uploading the received self-certificate.
Prerequisite Procedures
This DLP assumes that all steps outlined in DLP-017 and DLP-018 are complete and the user has the
self-certificate in PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) format available.
Tools and Materials Required
•
No special tools or materials required.
To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a
