Creating PKI Objects
The PKI objects (except for the digital certificate) are automatically generated the first time Fabric OS
v3.2.0, v4.4.0, v5.0.1, v5.1.0, or v5.2.0 is booted. If any of the PKI objects appears to be missing, in
secure mode, the switch segments from the fabric and disables security.
To use the CLI to re-create the PKI objects on Fabric OS v4.4.0, v5.0.1, v5.1.0, or
v5.2.0
1.
Log in to the switch as admin.
2.
Type the
pkiRemove
command. If the switch is a two-domain SilkWorm 24000, enter this
command on both logical switches.
3.
Type the
pkiCreate
command to create new PKI objects. New PKI objects are created without
digital certificates. If the switch is a two-domain SilkWorm 24000, enter this command on both
logical switches. The
pkiCreate
command does not work if secure mode is already enabled.
Note
“Root Certificate” is an internal PKI object. “Certificate” is the digital certificate.
