Adding the key bundles file and uploading upgrade files to EMS

Last Updated : Dec 06, 2024 |

About this task

You must upload and install the key bundles and PGP keys for the Avaya SBC product to both primary EMS and secondary EMS.

Important:

To clarify the file naming convention for the key bundles and PGP keys, the file name does include the word signature in the file name. For example:

sbce-10.2.1.0-101-24795-signatures.tar.gz

Do not let the file naming confuse as to the purpose of this file. Also, note that the administration UI calls this the Signature file. This is really the key bundles file.
