Syntax

crypto pki certificate <CERT-NAME>

Description

Creates a leaf certificate context and changes to the created config-cert-<CERT-NAME> context. If the specified leaf certificate exists, this command changes to the config-cert-<CERT-NAME> context.

The first time the switch starts it creates a self-signed, default leaf certificate called local-cert. This certificate is used by any switch application that does not have an associated leaf certificate.

The no form of this command deletes the specified leaf certificate. The default leaf certificate local-cert cannot be deleted.
