File transfer

To load a Trust Anchor Certificate against a TA Profile, execute the following command.

NOTE:

The TA profile must exist for the command to succeed.

Syntax:


(config#)copy tftp ta-certificate ta-profile-name <ip-addr/ipv6-addr> filename


copy sftp ta-certificate ta-profile-name ip-addr/ipv6-addr|host-name-str user <user-name>|username@ip-strport <TCP-port> FILE-NAME

Definitions:

ta-certificate: Copy a Trust Anchor certificate to the device.
ta-profile-name: The Trust Anchor Profile associated with the certificate.
ip-addr: IP address of the server.
file-name: Name of the certificate file.
ipv6-addr: Specify TFTP server IPv6 address.
host-name-str: Specify hostname of the SFTP server.
user: Specify the username on the remote system.
username@ip-str: Specify the username along with remote system information (hostname, IPv4 or IPv6 address.)
port: TCP port of the SSH server on the remote system.

Syntax:

Copy a Trust Anchor (TA) certificate to the device using TFTP:


copy tftp local-certificate [Cert-Name] [<ip-addr/ipv6-addr>]

Copy a Trust Anchor (TA) certificate to the device using SFTP:


copy sftp local-certificate [Cert-Name] [<ip-addr/ipv6-addr/host-name-str>] [user <user-name>] [username@ip-str <filename>]

The file is checked immediately upon completion of transfer and results written to the CLI. The file can be in PEM-encoded or DER-encoded (binary) PKCS#7 format. If the certificate subject matches an existing TA certificate associated with the specified TA profile, then the new certificate updates the existing certificate.

Any certificate which is a root or intermediate certificate will be accepted as a TA certificate. There is no check for the subject.
