SSL certificate verify error: Peer certificate verification failed

johnlloyd_13
Level 9
Level 9

hi,

i'm seeing this a lot in our NCS 540 router logs which shows SSL certificate error.

i don't see any issue with smart license as everything shows as 'authorized' and router can reach SCH cloud server.

i also don't use any SSL/TLS cert or PKI. is this normal or some kind of bug?

any other useful 'show' commands i could use or is this something needs to be raised to TAC?

Logs are genreated before time, but Register time show after that time, so i am thinking the device is registered ? or still issue.

 

 

how does your call home config look like :

 

source-interface XXXXXXX (if you using VRF interface ?)

 

also try :

 

(config)# crypto ca trustpool policy  
(config-trustpool)#crl optional

hi balaji,

the device is REGISTERED per my initial post.

the call home config has the 'source-interface' and i can ping and telnet to SCH again per my initial post.

You might be affected by this field notice:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/field-notices/723/fn72323.html

You can add the new certificate as noted in the FN in order to resolve that potential issue.

hi marvin,

thanks for this info! it's like the same bug i found on the expired cert:

https://bst.cisco.com/quickview/bug/CSCvx00476

will try to apply the work around. i'm just waiting and confirm TAC's response.
