HTTPS Configuration
Secure HTTP enables the transmission of HTTP over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection. When you manage the switch by using
a Web interface, secure HTTP can help ensure that communication between the
management system and the switch is protected from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle
attacks.
Use the Secure HTTP Configuration page to configure the settings for HTTPS
communication between the management station and the switch.
