Uploading a Trusted Certificate

If you have a certificate from a trusted authority to upload, the file must be located
on the computer connected to the Cisco RV180/RV180W. Perform the following
steps:
Choose Security > SSL Certificate.
In the Trusted Certificates (CA Certificate) Table, click Upload.
Click Browse and locate the file on your computer.
Click Upload. The new certificate appears in the table.

Generating New Certificate Requests

One of the steps in creating a certificate is to generate a certificate request from
the computer or the device that will be using the certificate. The Certificate
Signing Request (CSR) file needs to be submitted to the CA who will then
generate a certificate for this device.
To generate a certificate request:
Choose Security > SSL Certificate.
Under Self Certificate Requests, click Generate Certificate.
Enter the name of the certificate request.
