My guess would be that OpenSSL is waiting for the system randomness
source to properly seed. This was an intentional change. Without
it security will likely be lost.<br>

<br>
I have updated the openssl version running on the switch from
1.1.1g to 1.1.1h and eventually to 1.1.1k.<br>
Starting 1.1.1h, I am observing that the switch hangs for a
significant amount of time (> 3 minutes) when the call
RAND_write_file is invoked from the switch software.<br>
The same call (RAND_write_file) invoked from the switch
software with the earlier versions of openssl (1.1.1g) did not
make the switch to hang for the noticeable time. Can you
please help me understand why this behavior is and suggest a
solution if any?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
