Copying Certificats using Cut-and-Paste Method

AGNI CA signed certificates

We will work with radsec_ca_certificate.pem and switch.pem certificatesfrom AGNI. The radsec cerficate is provided by AGNI and switch.pem is generated on the switch and signed by AGNI. You will need to copy these certificates to the switch flash storage. The following steps assume you have already downloaded the certificates to your local machine. Ensure that you are in the same directory as the certificates.

MAC OS

1. Open Terminal and run the following.
2. You will cut-and-paste the certificate contents of radsec_ca_certificate.pem and switch.pem to the switch's terminal.

3. Copy the content of the certficate from BEGIN and END CERTIFICATE lines.

   ls -al *.pem
   cat radsec_ca_certificate.pem
   

4. Login to your switch using the arista user credentials and paste the certificate. Hit return and control-d to exit.

   copy terminal: flash:radsec_ca_certificate.pem
   enter input line by line; when done enter one or more control-d
   

5. Repeat the previoussteps for the switch.pem certificate.

   cat switch.pem
   

6. Login to your switch using the arista user credentials and paste the certificate. Hit return and control-d to exit.

   copy terminal: flash:switch.pem
   enter input line by line; when done enter one or more control-d
   

7. Copy the certificates to the certificate store.

   copy flash:radsec_ca_certificate.pem certificate:radsec_ca_certificate.pem
   copy flash:switch.pem certificate:switch.pem
   

Windows

1. Open Command Prompt and run the following.
2. You will cut-and-paste the certificate contents of radsec_ca_certificate.pem and switch.pem to the switch's terminal.

3. Copy the content of the certficate from BEGIN and END CERTIFICATE lines.

   dir *.pem
   type radsec_ca_certificate.pem
   

4. Login to your switch using the arista user credentials and paste the certificate. Hit return and control-d to exit.

   copy terminal: flash:radsec_ca_certificate.pem
   enter input line by line; when done enter one or more control-d
   

5. Repeat the previous steps for the switch.pem certificate.

   type switch.pem
   

6. Login to your switch using the arista user credentials and paste the certificate. Hit return and control-d to exit.

   copy terminal: flash:switch.pem
   enter input line by line; when done enter one or more control-d
   

7. Copy the certificates to the certificate store.

copy flash:radsec_ca_certificate.pem certificate:radsec_ca_certificate.pem
copy flash:switch.pem certificate:switch.pem
