Creates a security certificate on the switch. The security certificate is required to 
establish an SSL connection with a management application such as Enterprise 
Fabric Suite 2007. The certificate is valid 24 hours before the certificate creation 
date and expires 365 days after the creation date. Should the current certificate 
become invalid, use the Create Certificate command to create a new one.

Assembles all log files and switch memory data into a file (dump_support.tgz) on 
the switch. If your workstation has an FTP server, you can proceed with the 
command prompts to send the file from the switch to a remote host. Otherwise, 
you can use FTP to download the support file from the switch to your workstation. 
The support file is useful to technical support personnel for troubleshooting switch 
problems. Use this command when directed by your authorized maintenance 
provider. This keyword does not require an Admin session.

                                                                                           

To insure the creation of a valid certificate, be sure that the switch and the 
workstation time and date are the same. Refer to the following commands:
„

 for information about setting the time 

and date

„

 for information about setting 

the time zone on the switch and workstation

„

 (System keyword) for 

information about enabling the Network Time Protocol for synchronizing 
the time and date on the switch and workstation from an NTP server.

Support files are deleted from the switch during a power cycle or switch 
reset.
