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.
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.
