ecure HTTP.
server – Enables an HTTPS server
ciphersuite – Specifies one or many of
the supported encryption algorithms to
be used.
crypto key rsa – Encryption key, either
512 or 1024.
Step 3

The example below shows the commands used to configure a secure HTTP.
SMIS# configure terminal
SMIS(config)# no ip http secure server
SMIS(config)# end
SMIS# show ip http secure server status
HTTP secure server status: Disabled

HTTP crypto key rsa 1024
1.8.5.2 Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
An SSL certificate provides security for online communications. Before requesting an SSL certificate,
a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) must be generated and submitted to the Certification Authority (CA).
CAs manage these requests and issue certificates to participating network devices. These services
provide a centralized security key and certificate management for the participating devices. CA servers
are called as trustpoints, e.g. thawte.com.
Supermicro switches c reate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) using an RSA key pair and switch
identification.
Follow the steps below to configure a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) .
