Aruba 2540 Certificate Error Post Reconfiguration

[Vint]

All,

I am trying to reconfigure a previously configured Aruba 2540. I am trying to enable https using a self signed certificate. Post config I get a certificate error in the browser. I have tried 'erase startup config', 'crypto key zeroize ssh' and 'crypto key generate ssh', followed by 'crypto pki enroll-self-signed...' blah blah blah to no avail.

The clock was set correctly. I did the original config on this switch and 50 others as well but this one is showing it's behind and at this point I just want to reset it to factory defaults. and start fresh. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Hello,

Could you mention what is the Certificate Error seen on browser? Please refer below guide config the switch for SSL

HTTPS support requires a certificate to be configured on the switch with a usage type of all or captiveportal,

Please refer the Best Practice from below link, Pg:129
