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 such as CP certificates
from the node and makes it necessary to reinitialize the node and export the new CP certificates
and 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 SecurityAdmin.
2. Execute the cryptocfg
3. Export the certificate from the local switch to an SCP-capable external host or to a mounted
4. Log in to the group leader as Admin or SecurityAdmin.
5. Use the cryptocfg

USB device. Enter the cryptocfg
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 \

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 \
