CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

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 authenticates the server using the server’s digital certificate.

-The client and server negotiate a set of security protocols to use for the connection.

-The client and server generate session keys for encrypting and decrypting data.

The client and server establish a secure encrypted connection.

A padlock icon should appear in the status bar for Internet Explorer 5.x or above and Netscape Navigator 4.x or above.
