Managing SSL and SSH Services
Consider the following when enabling SSH and SSL services:
To establish a secure Telnet connection, your workstation must use an SSH client.
To enable secure SSL connections, you must first synchronize the date and time on the switch and workstation. Refer to “Setting the Date and Time” on page
The SSL service must be enabled to authenticate users through a RADIUS server. Refer to “Configuring a RADIUS Server on the Switch” on page
To disable SSL when using a user authentication RADIUS server, the RADIUS server authentication order must be local.
Enabling SSL automatically creates a security certificate on the switch.
