CONFIGURING HTTPS
You can configure the switch to enable the Secure Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTPS) over the Secure Socket Layer (SSL), providing secure
access (i.e., an encrypted connection) to the switch’s web interface.
CONFIGURING GLOBAL
SETTINGS FOR HTTPS
Use the Security > HTTPS (Configure Global) page to enable or disable
HTTPS and specify the UDP port used for this service.
CLI REFERENCES
â—† "Web Server" on page 629
COMMAND USAGE
â—† HTTP and HTTPS are implemented as mutually exclusive services on the
switch. (HTTP can only be configured through the CLI using the ip http
server command described on page 630.)
â—† If you enable HTTPS, you must indicate this in the URL that you specify
in your browser: https://device[:port_number]
â—† When you start HTTPS, the connection is established in this way:
â–
The client authenticates the server using the server’s digital
certificate.
â–
The client and server negotiate a set of security protocols to use for
the connection.
â–
The client and server generate session keys for encrypting and
decrypting data.
