User Guidelines
• Use this command to export a certificate request to a Certification Authority. The certificate
request is generated in Base64-encoded X.509 format.
• Before generating a certificate request you must first generate a self-signed certificate using the
ip https exec-timeout
Global Configuration mode command. Be aware that you have to reenter
the certificate fields.
• After receiving the certificate from the Certification Authority, use the
crypto certificate import
Global Configuration mode command to import the certificate into the device. This certificate
replaces the self-signed certificate.
Examples
The following example generates and displays a certificate request for HTTPS.
crypto certificate import
The crypto certificate import Global Configuration mode command imports a certificate signed
by the Certification Authority for HTTPS.
