Install Custom Certificate

GigaVUE V Series Node, GigaVUE V Series Proxy, and G-vTAP Controllers have default self-signed certificates installed. The communication between GigaVUE-FM and the fabric components happens in a secure way using these default self-signed certificates, however you can also add custom certificates like SSL/TLS certificate to avoid the trust issues that occurs when the GigaVUE V Series Nodes, GigaVUE V Series Proxy, or G-vTAP Controllers run through the security scanners.

You can upload the custom certificate in two ways:
