Steps for connecting to an SKM or ESKM appliance
CAUTION
After adding the member node to the encryption group, you should not use the cryptocfg
--zeroizeEE command on that node. Doing so removes critical information from the node and
makes it necessary to re-initialize the node and export new KAC certificates to the group leader
and the key vault.
To add a member node to an encryption group, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the switch on which the certificate was generated as Admin or FabricAdmin.
2. Execute the cryptocfg
3. Log in as Admin or SecurityAdmin.
4. Export the certificate from the local switch to an SCP-capable external host or to a mounted

exporting a certificate to a location other than your home directory, you must specify a fully
qualified path that includes the target directory and file name. When exporting to USB storage,
certificates are stored by default in a predetermined directory, and you only need to provide a
file name for the certificate. The file name must be given a .pem (privacy enhanced mail)
extension. Use a character string that identifies the certificate's originator, such as the switch
name or IP address.
The following example exports a CP certificate from an encryption group member to an external
SCP-capable host and stores it as enc_switch1_cp_cert.pem.
SecurityAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --export -scp CPcert \
192.168.38.245 mylogin /tmp/certs/enc_switch1_cp_cert.pem

The following example exports a CP certificate from the local node to USB storage.

You must import the CP certificate of each node you wish to add to the encryption group.
The following example imports a CP certificate named "enc_switch1_cp_cert.pem" that was
previously exported to the external host 192.168.38.245. Certificates are imported to a
predetermined directory on the group leader.
SecurityAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --import -scp enc_switch1_cp_cert.pem \

Operation succeeded.
The following example imports a CP certificate named "enc_switch1_cp_cert.pem" that was
