128 Configuring and Managing IP Interfaces and Services

Managing HTTPS
Enabling HTTPS
HTTPS is disabled by default. To enable HTTPS, use the following command:
set ip https server {enable | disable}
Displaying HTTPS Information
To display HTTPS service information, use the following command:
show ip https
To display information for an WSS switch’s HTTPS server, type the following command:
WSS-20> show ip https
HTTPS is enabled
HTTPS is set to use port 443
Last 10 Connections:
IP Address Last Connected Time Ago (s)
------------ ----------------------- ------------
10.10.10.56 2003/05/09 15:51:26 pst 349
The command lists the TCP port number on which the switch listens for HTTPS connections. The command
also lists the last 10 devices to establish HTTPS connections with the switch and when the connections were
established.
If a browser connects to an WSS switch from behind a proxy, then only the proxy IP address is shown. If
multiple browsers connect using the same proxy, the proxy address appears only once in the output.
Configuring and Managing DNS
You can configure an WSS switch to use a Domain Name Service (DNS) server to resolve hostnames into
their IP addresses. This capability is useful in cases where you specify a hostname instead of an IP address in a
command.
For example, as an alternative to the command ping 192.168.9.1, you can enter the command ping
chris.example.com. When you enter ping chris.example.com, the WSS switch's DNS client queries a DNS
server for the IP address that corresponds to the hostname chris.example.com, then sends the ping request to
that IP address.
Caution! If you disable the HTTPS server, Web View access to the switch is also
disabled.
