Click Finish to exit the Configure Switch Encryption wizard. 22. Review "Understanding configuration status results". Understanding configuration status results After configuration of the encryption group is completed, the Management application sends API commands to verify the switch configuration. The CLI commands are detailed in encryption administrator's guide for your key vault management system. • Initialize the switch. If the switch is not already in the initiated state, the Management application performs the cryptocfg --initnode command. • Create an encryption group on the switch. The Management application creates a new group using the cryptocfg --create -encgroup command, and sets the key vault type using the cryptocfg --set -keyvault command. • Register the key vault. The Management application registers the key vault using the cryptocfg --reg keyvault command. • Enable the encryption engines. The Management application initializes an encryption switch using the cryptocfg --initEE [] and cryptocfg --regEE [] commands. • Create a new master key. (Opaque key vaults only). The Management application checks for a new master key. New master keys are generated from the Security tab located in the Encryption Group Properties dialog box. See "Creating a new master key" on page 87 for more information. • Save the switch's public key certificate to a file. The Management application saves the KAC certificate into the specified file. 46 Fabric OS Encryption Administrator's Guide 53-1002159-03
