  * can a virtual switch be loaded with a default flow table that would allow it to function, at least until its table times out?
+
+=== SSL setup (7/13) ===
+using this site as reference: http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Creating_and_Using_a_self_signed__SSL_Certificates_in_debian
+
+except renaming the switch key and cert to what it would understand:
+ *ca_cert.pem
+ *sw_cert.pem
+ *sw_key.pem
+
+because in the example on the site ca_cert.pem is named cacert.pem, I had to change "cacert" to "ca_cert" in openssl.cnf for the very last part (signing the certificate):
+{{{
+[ CA_default ] 
+serial = $dir/serial 
+database = $dir/index.txt 
+new_certs_dir = $dir/newcerts 
+certificate = $dir/cacert.pem 
+private_key = $dir/private/cakey.pem 
+default_days = 365 
+default_md = md5 
+preserve = no 
+email_in_dn = no 
+nameopt = default_ca 
+certopt = default_ca 
+policy = policy_match 
+}}}
+I am not sure if changing the name of the key from ofpswitch.key.pem to sw_key.pem after making/signing the certification will affect anything. will find out.
