Configure the Arista network device to obtain its public key certificates from an appropriate certificate policy through an approved service provider.
Step 1: Configure the Arista network device by following the steps outlined in the Arista Military Unique Deployment Guide to generate the DOD PKI certificate signing request [switch.csr] for submission to DOD PKI CA. Example configuration:
switch#security pki certificate generate signing-request key rsa1.key

-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
Step 2: Once the DOD PKI signed certificates are received, CA Root Certificate and Intermediate Certificates obtained from CA must be uploaded onto the Arista network device directory of /certificate: The certificate's transfer can be accomplished by SCP or USB. The detail configuration can be found in the Arista Military Unique Deployment Guide in the section "Configuring RSA SecureID with OTP Management".
The following commands copy the certificates using device USB1: to directory of the certificate:
switch#copy usb1:Arista-23.pem certificate:
Copy completed successfully.
switch#copy usb1: CA-60.crt certificate:
Copy completed successfully.
switch#copy usb1: DODDISASWCA_60.crt certificate:
Copy completed successfully.
!
The following commands verify all three certificates are correctly copied to the certificate directory:
switch#directory certificate
switch#dir certificate:
Directory of certificate:/
-rw- 2025 Aug 11 10:52 CA-60.crt
-rw- 2110 Aug 11 10:52 ARISTA_SIGNING_CA.crt
-rw- 1724 Aug 9 14:35 DODDISASWCA_60.crt
-rw- 1722 Aug 12 09:38 arista-b64.cer
-rw- 1696 Aug 12 14:35 Arista-23.pem
-rw- 1696 Aug 12 14:36 intCert.pem
!
The following commands configure the SSL-profile using the PKI certificates on the switch with the RSA SecureID server and trust chain:
switch(config)#management security
switch(config-mgmt-security)#ssl profile RSA01
switch(config-mgmt-sec-ssl-profile-RSA01)#tls versions 1.2
switch(config-mgmt-sec-ssl-profile-RSA01)#certificate Arista-23.pem key rsa1.key
switch(config-mgmt-sec-ssl-profile-RSA01)#trust certificate Arista-23.pem
switch(config-mgmt-sec-ssl-profile-RSA01)#trust certificate DODDISASWCA_60.crt
switch(config-mgmt-sec-ssl-profile-RSA01)#chain certificate CA-60.cer
switch(config-mgmt-sec-ssl-profile-RSA01)#show active
management security
ssl profile RSA01

trust certificate certificate Arista-23.pem
trust certificate CA-60.cer
trust certificate DODDISASWCA_60.crt
chain certificate CA-60.crt
radius-server tls ssl-profile RSA01
!
Step 3: Configure the switch RadSec Proxy server and RSA SecureID server IP address and RADIUS attribute configuration for ssl-profile RSA01.
switch(config)#radius-server tls ssl-profile RSA01
switch(config)#radius-server host 192.168.16.102 key 7 09595D080D0C1453
switch(config)#radius-server host 192.168.16.55 key 7 120C161606020F45
switch(config)#radius-server host 192.168.16.55 tls
switch(config)#aaa group server radius RADsecProxy
server 192.168.16.55 tls
!
Step 4: Configure the AAA authentication and authorization parameters for SSL-profile and RadSec Proxy Server.
switch(config)#no aaa root
switch(config)#aaa authorization policy local default-role aristaadmin
switch(config)#logging level AAA informational
switch(config)#aaa group server radius RADsecProxy
server 192.168.16.55 tls
switch(config)#aaa group server radius TIC1
server 192.168.16.103
switch(config)#aaa authentication login default local group RADsecProxy
switch(config)#aaa authentication login console local
switch(config)#aaa authentication policy on-success log
switch(config)#aaa authentication policy on-failure log
switch(config)#aaa authorization exec default local group RADsecProxy
switch(config)#aaa authorization commands all default local
switch(config)#aaa accounting commands all default start-stop logging group radius
switch(config)#write
!
Step 5: Verify the AAA configuration to ensure all parameters from the previous step are accurate with the following command:
switch(config)#show running-config | section aaa
no aaa root
aaa authorization policy local default-role aristaadmin
logging level AAA informational
aaa group server radius RADsecProxy
server 192.168.16.55 tls
aaa group server radius TIC1
server 192.168.16.103
aaa authentication login default local group RADsecProxy
aaa authentication login console local
aaa authentication policy on-success log
aaa authentication policy on-failure log
aaa authorization exec default local group RADsecProxy
aaa authorization commands all default local
aaa accounting commands all default start-stop logging group radius
!
switch#show aaa methods authentication
Authentication method lists for LOGIN:
name=default methods=local, group RADsecProxy
name=login methods=local
Authentication method list for ENABLE:
name=default methods=local
Authentication method list for DOT1X:
name=default methods=
