-Specifies a PEM file containing the private key used as the switch's
-identity for SSL connections to the controller.

-.TP
-\fB-c\fR, \fB--certificate=\fIcert.pem\fR
-Specifies a PEM file containing a certificate, signed by the

-.TP
-\fB-C\fR, \fB--ca-cert=\fIswitch-cacert.pem\fR
-Specifies a PEM file containing the CA certificate used to verify that
-the switch is connected to a trustworthy controller.

-.TP
-\fB--peer-ca-cert=\fIcontroller-cacert.pem\fR
-Specifies a PEM file that contains one or more additional certificates

-certificate used to sign the controller's own certificate (the
-certificate specified on \fB-c\fR or \fB--certificate\fR).

-This option is not useful in normal operation, because the switch must
