Notes:
• If the switch does not already have certificates, MSS automatically generates the
missing ones the first time you boot using MSS Version 4.2 or later. You do not need to
install certificates unless you want to replace the ones automatically generated by MSS.
(For more information, see the “Certificates Automatically Generated by MSS” section in
the “Managing Keys and Certificates” chapter of the RoamAbout Mobility System
Software Configuration Guide.)
• Before installing a new certificate, verify with the show timedate and show timezone
commands that the RoamAbout Switch is set to the correct date, time, and time zone.
Otherwise, certificates might not be installed correctly.
