2 firmwareKeyUpdate firmwareKeyUpdate Updates the public key used for signed firmware validation. Synopsis firmwarekeyupdate firmwarekeyupdate [-p ftp|scp] host,user,keyfile,passwd firmwarekeyupdate -U keyfile Description Use this command to update the public key used for firmware signature validation. The firmware key can be updated over the network, or, if the switch supports this option, from an attached USB device. A default firmware key is released as part of the firmware image and is downloaded to the switch during the firmware download process. The default key is used to download a new firmware. However, the firmware key may be changed by Brocade for future releases, and the default key may not be the right key for validating the signature of the new firmware. In this case, switch administrators can use the firmwareKeyUpdate command to update the firmware key first. After the new firmware is downloaded, the firmware key that is part of the new firmware becomes the default firmware key. Notes A firmware key should be installed on every switch as a part of the Fabric OS installation. The presence of a firmware key does not imply that the firmware signature will be checked during firmwareDownload. Signed Firmware Download must be enabled before the public key can be used for signature Use the configure command to enable Signed Firmware Download. If Signed Firmware Download is enabled, and if the validation succeeds, firmware download will proceed normally. If the firmware is not signed or if the signature validation fails, signed firmware download will fail. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for complete details on upgrading or downgrading firmware. Operands The following operands are supported. When invoked without operands, the command goes into interactive mode, prompting the user for input. -p scp|ftp Specify the file transfer protocol. Valid values are ftp and scp. Values are not case sensitive. If -p is not specified, firmwareKeyUpdate determines the protocol automatically. -U Specify this operand to update the firmware key from a USB device. This option requires the keyfile operand. host Specify a valid FTP or SSH server name or IP address. IPV4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. The firmware key is updated from the specified host. If host is not specified, the firmware key is considered accessible on a local directory. To mention an FTP server by name, a DNS server must first be set up with the dnsConfig command. user Specify a user name for FTP or SSH server access. This operand can be omitted, if the firmware key is accessible on a local directory or via anonymous FTP server access. A user name other than "anonymous" is required for SSH server access. 222 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1000599-01
