Overview
Figure 9-1. Switch/User Authentication
SSL on the switches covered in this guide supports these data encryption
methods:
â– 3DES (168-bit, 112 Effective)
â– DES (56-bit)
â– RC4 (40-bit, 128-bit)
Note HP Switches use RSA public key algorithms and Diffie-Hellman, and all
references to a key mean keys generated using these algorithms unless
otherwise noted
