Command Usage
• Both HTTP and HTTPS service can be enabled independently on the switch.
However, you cannot configure the HTTP and HTTPS servers to use the
same UDP port.
• If you enable HTTPS, you must indicate this in the URL that you specify in
your browser: https://device[:port_number]
• When you start HTTPS, the connection is established in this way:

- The client and ser ver negotiate a set of security protocols to use for the
connection.
- The client and serv er generate session keys for encrypting and decrypting
data.
