Note

There can only be one CSR per switch.

After entering values for the private key length, country code, organization, and common name, you are prompted to enter information for the Distinguished Name (DN): state, locality, organization unit, and email address.

Note

Due to changes in the Distinguished Name (DN), you are prompted to provide country, organization, and common name to ensure backward compatibility.

Example

The following example creates a CSR with a private key length of 2,048, country is USA, organization is "EXTR", and the common name is "test":

# configure ssl csr privkeylen 2048 country US organization EXTR common-name test
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request.
