Loading a local certificate

To load a local certificate (single certificate/certificate chain), execute the following command.

Syntax:


(Switch_Name#)copy tftp local-certificate <ip-addr> <file-name>


(Switch_Name#)copy sftp local-certificate [user <user-name>] [<ip-addr/ipv6-addr/host-name-str>] [<username@ip-str>] <filename> [port <1-65535>]

Definitions:

ta-certificate: Copy a Trust Anchor certificate to the device.
ta-profile-name: The Trust Anchor Profile associated with the certificate.
local certificate: Local Certificate to be copied.
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.

NOTE:

The loaded certificate is validated against a pending Certificate Request and the maximum number of intermediate certificates allowed is 3 (with a maximum of 5 certificates in a chain). Intermediate certificates must either be loaded before the local certificate or are included as part of the local certificate.
