certificate
Creates a security certificate on the switch. The security certificate is required to
establish an SSL connection with a management application such as Enterprise
Fabric Suite 2007. The certificate is valid 24 hours before the certificate creation
date and expires 365 days after the creation date. Should the current certificate
become invalid, use the Create Certificate command to create a new one.
NOTE:
To insure the creation of a valid certificate, be sure that the switch and the
workstation time and date are the same. Refer to the following commands:
support
Assembles all log files and switch memory data into a file (dump_support.tgz) on
the switch. If your workstation has an FTP server, you can proceed with the
command prompts to send the file from the switch to a remote host. Otherwise,
you can use FTP to download the support file from the switch to your workstation.
The support file is useful to technical support personnel for troubleshooting switch
problems. Use this command when directed by your authorized maintenance
provider. This keyword does not require an Admin session.
NOTE:
Support files are deleted from the switch during a power cycle or switch
reset.
