JetStream  52-Port Gigabit Stackable L3 Managed Switch  CLI Guide 
 
Chapter 20  HTTP and HTTPS Commands 
With the help of HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) or HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol 
over Secure Socket Layer), you can manage the switch through a standard browser.   
HTTP is the protocol to exchange or transfer hypertext.   
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), a security protocol, is to provide a secure connection for the 
application layer protocol (e.g. HTTP) based on TCP. Adopting asymmetrical encryption 
technology, SSL uses key pair to encrypt/decrypt information. A key pair refers to a public key 
(contained in the certificate) and its corresponding private key. By default the switch has a 
certificate (self-signed certificate) and a corresponding private key. The Certificate/Key 
Download function enables the user to replace the default key pair.
