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 re-introduce the switch’s certificate on all manage-

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 startup-config command

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.
