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}}
Description This command will 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 and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To enable SSL on the Switch for all ciphersuites:
DGS-3627:admin# enable ssl
Command:enable ssl
Note: Web will be disabled if SSL is enabled.
Success.
DGS-3627:admin#
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 your URL must begin with https://. (ex.
https://10.90.90.90)
