When managing local certificates on an ArubaOS-Switch, a recommended guideline is to create a trust anchor (TA) profile with the root CA certificate before installing the local certificate. This step ensures that the switch can verify the authenticity of the certificate chain during SSL/TLS communications. The trust anchor profile establishes a basis of trust by containing the root CA certificate, which helps validate the authenticity of any subordinate certificates, including the local certificate installed on the switch. This process is essential for enhancing security on the network, as it ensures that encrypted communications involving the switch are based on a verified certificate hierarchy.
