Usage — To use this command, you must already have generated a
certificate request with the crypto generate request command, sent
the request to the certificate authority, and obtained a signed copy of the
WX switch certificate as a PKCS #7 object file. Then do the following:
1 Open the PKCS #7 object file with an ASCII text editor such as Notepad
or vi.
2 Enter the crypto certificate command on the CLI command line.
3 When MSS prompts you for the PEM-formatted certificate, paste the
PKCS #7 object file onto the command line.
The WX switch verifies the validity of the public key associated with this
certificate before installing it, to prevent a mismatch between the WX
switch's private key and the public key in the installed certificate.
Examples — The following command installs a certificate:
