Deleting RSA Key Pairs from Your Switch

</h1>
<a name="wp1074334"> </a><p class="pBody">
Under certain circumstances you may want to delete your switch’s RSA key pairs. For example, if you 
believe the RSA key pairs were compromised in some way and should no longer be used, you should 
delete the key pairs.

Detailed Steps
</h2>
<a name="wp1119358"> </a><p class="pBody">
To delete RSA key pairs from your switch, follow these steps:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ol type="1" class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1119359"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Expand <b class="cBold">Switches</b> &gt; <b class="cBold">Security, </b>and then select <b class="cBold">PKI</b> in the Physical Attributes pane. 
</li>
<a name="wp1119360"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click the <b class="cBold">RSA Key-Pair </b>tab in the Information pane.
</li>
<a name="wp1119361"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click <b class="cBold">Delete Row</b>. 
</li>
<a name="wp1119362"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click <b class="cBold">Yes</b> or <b class="cBold">No</b> in the Confirmation dialog box.

<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> After you delete RSA key pairs from a switch, ask the CA administrator to revoke your switch’s 
certificates at the CA. You must supply the challenge password you created when you originally 
requested the certificates. See <a href="digicert24.html">&quot;Generating Certificate Requests&quot; topic</a>.
