Configuring HTTPS

You can configure the switch to enable the Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) over the Secure Socket Layer (SSL), providing secure access (i.e., an encrypted connection) to the switch’s web interface.

Command Usage

•Both the HTTP and HTTPS service can be enabled independently on the switch. However, you cannot configure both services 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 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.
