Associating the HTTPS Service with an SSL Server Policy 
You need to associate the HTTPS service with a created SSL server policy before enabling the HTTPS 
service. 
 Follow these steps to associate the HTTPS service with an SSL server policy: 
To do…  Use the command…  Remarks 
Enter system view 
system-view 
— 
Associate the HTTPS service 
with an SSL server policy 
ip https ssl-server-policy 
policy-name 
Required 
Not associated by default 
 
 
z  If the ip https ssl-server-policy command is executed repeatedly, the HTTPS service is only 
associated with the last specified SSL server policy. 
z  When the HTTPS service is enabled, no modification of its associated SSL server policy takes 
effect. 
 
Enabling the HTTPS Service 
The device can act as the HTTPS server and users can access and control the device through the Web 
function only when the HTTPS service is enabled. 
Follow these steps to enable the HTTPS service: 
To do…  Use the command…  Remarks 
Enter system view 
system-view 
— 
Enable the HTTPS service 
ip https enable 
Required 
Disabled by default. 
 
 
z  After the HTTPS service is enabled, you can use the display ip https command to view the state 
of the HTTPS service and verify the configuration. 
z  Enabling of the HTTPS service will trigger an SSL handshake negotiation process. During the 
process, if the local certificate of the device already exists, the SSL negotiation is successfully 
performed, and the HTTPS service can be started normally. If no local certificate exists, a 
certificate application process will be triggered by the SSL negotiation. Since the application 
process takes much time, the SSL negotiation may fail and the HTTPS service cannot be started 
normally. Therefore, the ip https enable command must be executed for multiple times to ensure 
normal startup of the HTTPS service.
