Switch Provisioning
Use the
Switch Certificate Request
page to request a X.509 certificate from the cluster controller. The X.509
mutual certificate exchange is the only mechanism for peer switches to authenticate with each other because
switches do not support pass-phrase authentication.
The X.509 certificate is automatically generated by the switch, so it does not communicate with any trusted
certificate authority, and there are no certificate maintenance fees.
