can use web-management ssl tcp-port to specify any TCP port for SSL connec-

tions except those reserved for other purposes. Examples of reserved IP ports

are 23 (Telnet) and 80 (http). Some other reserved TCP ports on the switches

are 49, 80, 1506, and 1513.

Caution SSL does not protect the switch from unauthorized access via the Telnet,

SNMP, or the serial port. While Telnet access can be restricted by the use of

passwords local to the switch, if you are unsure of the security this provides,

you may want to disable Telnet access (no telnet). If you need to increase SNMP

security, use SNMP version 3 only for SNMP access. Another security measure

is to use the Authorized IP Managers feature described in the switch’s Security

Guide. To protect against unauthorized access to the serial port (and the Clear

button, which removes local password protection), keep physical access to

the switch restricted to authorized personnel.
