C AUTION : For maximum security, we recommend you obtain a unique
Secure Sockets Layer certificate at the earliest opportunity. This is because
the default certificate for the switch is not unique to the hardware you have
purchased.
When you have obtained these, place them on your TFTP server and
transfer them to the switch to replace the default (unrecognized) certificate
with an authorized one.
N OTE : The switch must be reset for the new certificate to be activated. To
reset the switch, see "Resetting the System" on page 150 or type “reload”
at the command prompt: Console#
reload
