We will be having our first actual root certificate expiring that is NOT modem vendor related.
I have it set to 'Trusted'
Is there any concerns to this, or am I just trying to raise my blood pressure?

Thank you!
As it turns out, this is apparently NOT a root certificate, but a misnamed manufacturer cert.
I have set it to trusted, and you can't set root certs to trusted, at least not on a cbr8.
Thanks again!
