How to Implement CA Interoperability
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Declares the CA that your router should use and
enters trustpoint configuration mode.
•
Use the ca-name argument to specify the name
of the CA.
Specifies manual cut-and-paste certificate
enrollment.
Saves configuration changes.
When you issue the end command, the system
•
prompts you to commit changes:
Uncommitted changes found, commit them
before exiting(yes/no/cancel)?
[cancel]:
Entering yes saves configuration changes to
–
the running configuration file, exits the
configuration session, and returns the
router to EXEC mode.
Entering no exits the configuration session
–
and returns the router to EXEC mode
without committing the configuration
changes.
Entering cancel leaves the router in the
–
current configuration session without
exiting or committing the configuration
changes.
Use the commit command to save the
•
configuration changes to the running
configuration file and remain within the
configuration session.
Authenticates the CA by obtaining the certificate of
the CA.
Use the ca-name argument to specify the name
•
of the CA. Use the same name that you entered
in Step 2.
