 basically the first step in onboarding a router like ACSR 1000V or a Catalyst 8000V virtual router is to take the CA certificate and install it.  put it on the boot flash of the router and then you import it into the router's trust store.So what that does is when it does that initial connection to the controllers, it now uses your certificate to validate them and form that mutual trust instead of using the one that Cisco would use if you were in the cloud.\\ basically the first step in onboarding a router like ACSR 1000V or a Catalyst 8000V virtual router is to take the CA certificate and install it.  put it on the boot flash of the router and then you import it into the router's trust store.So what that does is when it does that initial connection to the controllers, it now uses your certificate to validate them and form that mutual trust instead of using the one that Cisco would use if you were in the cloud.\\
