Adding a switch to an encryption group 2 FIGURE 36 Configuration Status dialog box All configuration items have green check marks if the configuration is successful. A red stop sign indicates a failed step. A message displays below the table, indicating the encryption switch was added to the group you named, and the public key certificate is stored in the location you specified. 7. Review important messages, then click Next. The Error Instructions dialog box displays. Instructions for installing public key certificates for the encryption switch are displayed.
