Creates a security certificate on the switch. The security certificate is required to 
establish an SSL connection with a management application such as SANsurfer 
Switch Manager. 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 core dump 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.

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:

from an NTP server.
