Switch Provisioning

Use the Switch Certificate Request page to request a X.509 certificate from the cluster controller. The X.509
mutual certificate exchange is the only mechanism for peer switches to authenticate with each other because
switches do not support pass-phrase authentication.
The X.509 certificate is automatically generated by the switch, so it does not communicate with any trusted
certificate authority, and there are no certificate maintenance fees.
The following table shows the fields available on the Switch Certificate Request page.
Field
Switch IP Address
Switch Certificate Request Status
Command Buttons
The page includes the following buttons:
• Start—Initiates the X.509 certificate request.
• Refresh—Updates the page with the latest information.
