Configuring Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
General Operating Rules and Notes
General Operating Rules and Notes
■Once you generate a certificate on the switch you should avoid re-
generating the certificate without a compelling reason. Otherwise, you will have to
ment stations (clients) you previously set up for SSL access to the switch. In some situations this can temporarily allow security breaches.
■
■
The switch's own public/private certificate key pair and certificate are stored in the switch's flash memory and are not affected by reboots or the erase
The public/private certificate key pair is not be confused with the SSH public/private key pair. The certificate key pair and the SSH key pair are independent of each other, which means a switch can have two keys pairs stored in flash
■When stacking is enabled, SSL provides security only between an SSL client and the stack manager. Communications between the stack commander and stack members is not secure.
