How To
Summary
Enabling https access to switch requires obtaining, installing, and activating digital certificates. This documents explains how you can generate self-signed certificates (without using CA) and enable https access to switch.
Environment
Note: This document is applicable only to switch running FOS 8.1.x and above.
Steps
1. Check FOS on the switch to make sure FOS is 8.1.x and above
#version
#version
2. The command below is showing that certificate is not installed.
#seccertmgmt show -all
3. If the HTTPS certificate is empty, run the following command to generate the certificate:
# seccertmgmt generate -cert https -type rsa -keysize 2048 -hash sha1 -years 5
Generating a new certificate will automatically do the following
1. Delete existing switch certificate(s).
2. Disable secure protocol HTTPS
Warning: Certificate generation is CPU intensive and can cause high CPU usage
Continue (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Generating ... ...Generated self-signed https certificate successfully
1. Delete existing switch certificate(s).
2. Disable secure protocol HTTPS
Warning: Certificate generation is CPU intensive and can cause high CPU usage
Continue (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Generating ... ...Generated self-signed https certificate successfully
Above command is generating certificate using rsa type security with 2048 keysize using sha1 as hash and certificate valid for 5 years.
Please see the Fabric OS command reference manual for more detailed information.
4. Check https certificate status now it should exist along with private key.
#seccertmgmt show -all
5. Now access the switch using https.
