Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Content Switching Module with SSL Command Reference
OL-7029-01
Chapter3 Commands Specific to the Cont ent Switching Module with SSL
ssl-proxy policy ssl
Table 3 -4 lists the commands available in SSL-policy configuration submode.
You can define the SSL policy templates using the ssl-proxy policy ssl ssl-policy-name command and
associate a SSL policy with a particular proxy server using the proxy ser ver configuration CLI. The SSL
policy template allows you to define various parameters that are associated with the SSL handshake
stack.
When you enable close-notify, a close-notify alert message is sent to the client and a close-notify alert
message is expected from the client as well. When disabled, the server sends a close-notify a lert message
to the client; however, the server does not expect or wait for a close-notify message from the client before
tearing down the session.
The cipher-suite names follow the same convention as the existing SSL stacks.
The cipher-suites that are acceptable to the proxy-server are as follows:
•RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA— RSA with 3des-sha
•RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA—RSA with des-sha
•RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5—RSA with rc4-md5

RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 |
RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA | all}
Allows you to configure a list of cipher-suites acceptable to the
proxy-server; see the “Usage Guidelines” section for information about the
cipher suites.
[no] close-protocol enable Allows you to configure the SSL close-protocol behavior. Use the no form
of this command to disable close protocol.
default {cipher | close-protocol |
session-cache | version}
Sets a command to its default settings.
exit Exits from SSL-policy configuration submode.
help Provides a description of the interactive help system.
[no] session-cache enable Allows you to enable the session-caching feature. Use the no form of this
command to disable session-caching.
session-cache size size Specifies the maximum number of session entries to be allocated for a given
service; valid values are from 1 to 262143 entries.
timeout handshake timeout Allows you to configure how long the module keeps the connection in
handshake phase; valid values are from 0 to 65535 seconds.
timeout session timeout [absolute] Allows you to configure the session timeout. The syntax description is as
follows:
•timeout—Session timeout; valid values are from 0 to 72000 seconds.
•absolute—(Optional) The session entry is not removed until the
configured timeout has completed.
version {all | ssl3 | tls1} Allows you to set the version of SSL to one of the following:
•all—Both SSL3 and TLS1 versions are used.
•ssl3—SSL version 3 is used.
•tls1—TLS version 1 is used.
