CLI REFERENCES
◆ "Web Server" on page 641
COMMAND USAGE
◆ 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 642.)
◆ If you enable HTTPS, you must indicate this in the URL that you specify
in your browser: https://device[:port_number]
◆ When you start HTTPS, the connection is established in this way:
■
The client authenticates the server using the server’s digital
certificate.
■
The client and server negotiate a set of security protocols to use for
the connection.
■
The client and server generate session keys for encrypting and
decrypting data.
◆ The client and server establish a secure encrypted connection.
A padlock icon should appear in the status bar for Internet Explorer 5.x
or above, and Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.0 or above.
◆ The following web browsers and operating systems currently support
HTTPS:
◆ To specify a secure-site certificate, see "Replacing the Default Secure-
site Certificate" on page 312.
