To set the length of Endpoint Security (HX) certificates:

  1. Enable CLI configuration mode.

    hostname > enable
hostname # configure terminal
                  

  2. Specify the certificate length, in bits:

    hostname (config) # hx pki server cert-bits <bits>
                  

    where <bits> is the number of bits for the Endpoint Security (HX) certificates. Valid values range from 1024 and 4096 bits. The default is 2048 bits.

    To set the length back to the default, use the no form of this command:

    hostname (config) # no hx pki server cert-bits
                  

  3. Save your changes:

    hostname (config) # write memory
