SCP

Using SCP to copy a digital certificate to a FastIron device

To copy a digital certificate and private keys to a FastIron device using secure copy, enter commands in the following format:

C:> scp < Cert_file > user@< ip address >:file: < cert >.pem
C:> scp < Private_key_file > user@< ip address > :file: < private >.pem

Syntax: scp source_filename user@ip_address :file: cert_filename.pem

Syntax: scp private_key_file user@ip_address :file: private_filename.pem

The source_filename variable is the filename of the digital certificate that the user is copying to the device.

The private_key_file is the private key that the user is copying to the device.

The ip-address variable is the IP address of the ICX device to which the digital certificate file is downloaded.

The keyword :file: is required.

The cert_filename variable is the filename to which the digital certificate is copied.

The private_filename variable is the filename to which the private key is copied.

The destination filename must have the suffix .pem; otherwise, the file will not be copied to the device.
