If you do not specify the cert-file option, the system prompts you to enter metadata information related to the CSR as follows: You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank. For some fields there will be a default value; if you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ----- Country Name (2 letter code) [US]: State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:California Locality Name (eg, city) []:San Francisco Organization Name (eg, company) []:Starfleet Command Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:NCC-1701A Common Name (eg, YOUR name) [hostname]:S4810-001 Email Address []:[email protected] The switch uses SHA-256 as the digest algorithm and the public key algorithm is RSA with a 2048-bit modulus. The KeyUsage bits of the certificate assert keyEncipherment (bit 2) and keyAgreement (bit 4). The keyCertSign bit (bit 5) is NOT be set. The ExtendedKeyUsage fields indicate serverAuth and clientAuth. The attribute CA:FALSE is set in the Extensions section of the certificate. The certificate is NOT used to validate other certificates. The CSR is then copied out to the CA server. It can be copied from flash to a destination like usbflash, TFTP, FTP, or SCP. The CA server signs the CSR with its private key. The CA server then makes the signed certificate available for the requesting device to download and install. Creating Certificate Signing Requests (CSR) To create a private key and CSR, perform the following step: In global configuration mode, enter the following command: crypto cert generate {self-signed | request} [cert-file cert-path key-file {private | keypath}] [country 2-letter code] [state state] [locality city] [organization organization-name] [orgunit unit-name] [cname common-name] [email email-address] [validity days] [length length] [altname alt-name] You must specify the following parameters for this command: • Certificate File • Private Key • Country Name • State or Province Name • Locality Name • Organization Name • Organization Unit Name • Common Name • Email address • Validity • Length • Alternate Name 1100 X.509v3

If you do not specify the

cert-ﬁle

option, the system prompts you to enter metadata information related to the CSR as follows:

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate

request.

What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.

There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank.

For some fields there will be a default value; if you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

-----

Country Name (2 letter code) [US]:

State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:California

Locality Name (eg, city) []:San Francisco

Organization Name (eg, company) []:Starfleet Command

Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:NCC-1701A

Common Name (eg, YOUR name) [hostname]:S4810-001

Email Address []:[email protected]

The switch uses SHA-256 as the digest algorithm and the public key algorithm is RSA with a 2048-bit modulus. The

KeyUsage

bits of the

certiﬁcate

assert

keyEncipherment (bit 2)

and

keyAgreement (bit 4)

. The

keyCertSign bit (bit 5)

is NOT be set. The

ExtendedKeyUsage

ﬁelds

indicate

serverAuth

and

clientAuth

The attribute

CA:FALSE

is set in the Extensions section of the

certiﬁcate.

The

certiﬁcate

is NOT used to validate other

certiﬁcates.

The

CSR is then copied out to the CA server. It can be copied from

ﬂash

to a destination like

usbﬂash,

TFTP, FTP, or SCP.

The CA server signs the CSR with its private key. The CA server then makes the signed

certiﬁcate

available for the requesting device to

download and install.

Creating

Certiﬁcate

Signing Requests (CSR)

To create a private key and CSR, perform the following step:

In global

conﬁguration

mode, enter the following command:

crypto cert generate {self-signed | request} [cert-file cert-path key-file {private | key-

path}] [country 2-letter code] [state state] [locality city] [organization organization-name]

[orgunit unit-name] [cname common-name] [email email-address] [validity days] [length length]

[altname alt-name]

You must specify the following parameters for this command:

•

Certiﬁcate

File

•

Private Key

•

Country Name

•

State or Province Name

•

Locality Name

•

Organization Name

•

Organization Unit Name

•

Common Name

•

Email address

•

Validity

•

Length

•

Alternate Name
