enable ssl
Purpose
To enable the SSL function on the Switch.
Syntax
enable ssl {ciphersuite {RSA_with_RC4_128_MD5 |
RSA_with_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA | DHE_DSS_with_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
| RSA_EXPORT_with_RC4_40_MD5} (1) }
Description
This command is used to enable SSL on the Switch by implementing any one
or combination of listed ciphersuites on the Switch. Entering this command
without a parameter will enable the SSL status on the Switch. Enabling SSL
will disable the web-manager on the Switch.
Parameters
ciphersuite − A security string that determines the exact cryptographic
parameters, specific encryption algorithms and key sizes to be used for an
authentication session. The user may choose any combination of the following:
RSA_with_RC4_128_MD5 – This ciphersuite combines the RSA key
exchange, stream cipher RC4 encryption with 128-bit keys and the
MD5 Hash Algorithm.
RSA_with_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA − This ciphersuite combines the RSA
key exchange, CBC Block Cipher 3DES_EDE encryption and the SHA
Hash Algorithm.
DHE_DSS_with_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA − This ciphersuite combines the
DSA Diffie Hellman key exchange, CBC Block Cipher 3DES_EDE
encryption and SHA Hash Algorithm.
RSA_EXPORT_with_RC4_40_MD5 − This ciphersuite combines the RSA
Export key exchange, stream cipher RC4 encryption with 40-bit keys.
The ciphersuites are enabled by default on the Switch, yet the SSL status is
disabled by default. Enabling SSL with a ciphersuite will not enable the SSL
status on the Switch.
Restrictions
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To enable SSL on the Switch for all ciphersuites:
DES-3200-28:4#enable ssl
Command: enable ssl
Note: Web will be disabled if SSL is enabled.
Success.
DES-3200-28:4#
NOTE: Enabling SSL on the Switch will enable all ciphersuites. To utilize a
particular ciphersuite, the user must eliminate other ciphersuites by using the
disable ssl command along with the appropriate ciphersuites.
NOTE: Enabling the SSL function on the Switch will disable the port for the web
manager (port 80). To log on to the web based manager, the entry of the URL
must begin with https://. (ex. https://10.90.90.90).
