On recent hardware, it is indeed trivial. On HP ProCurve V1910 switches—Comware v5 switches that are still used in many home labs and small infrastructures—it's a different story. This article documents the entire project, the pitfalls, the discoveries, and an honest conclusion about what it's really worth.</p> <p>The test infrastructure: three HP V1910 switches (firmware 5.20 Release 1519P06) on a dedicated, isolated management VLAN with no Internet access. An internal CA based on OpenSSL runs on a Linux server in the infrastructure.</p>
