Ensuring Trust Point Configurations Persist Across Reboots

</h1>
<a name="wp1074100"> </a><p class="pBody">
The trust point configuration is a normal Cisco NX-OS configuration that persists across system reboots 
only if you copy it explicitly to the startup configuration. The certificates, key pairs, and CRL associated 
with a trust point are automatically persistent if you have already copied the trust point configuration in 
the startup configuration. Conversely, if the trust point configuration is not copied to the startup 
configuration, the certificates, key pairs, and CRL associated with it are not persistent since they require 
the corresponding trust point configuration after a reboot. Always copy the running configuration to the 
startup configuration to ensure that the configured certificates, key pairs, and CRLs are persistent. Also, 
save the running configuration after deleting a certificate or key pair to ensure that the deletions are 
permanent.

</p>
<a name="wp1074101"> </a><p class="pBody">
The certificates and CRL associated with a trust point automatically become persistent when imported 
(that is, without an explicitly copying to the startup configuration) if the specific trust point is already 
saved in startup configuration.

</p>
<a name="wp1074102"> </a><p class="pBody">
We also recommend that you create a password-protected backup of the identity certificates and save it 
to an external server (see the <a href="digicert29.html">&quot;Exporting and Importing Identity Information in PKCS#12 Format&quot; topic</a>). 

</p>
<a name="wp1074106"> </a><p class="pBodyAutonumNoRule">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> Copying the configuration to an external server does include the certificates and key pairs.
