33.7 Certificates
The Switch can use HTTPS certificates that are verified by a third party to create secure HTTPS
connections between your computer and the Switch. This way, you may securely access the Switch
using the Web Configurator. See Section 34.7.3 on page 286 for more information about HTTPS.
Certificates are based on public-private key pairs. A certificate contains the certificate owner’s identity
and public key. Certificates provide a way to exchange public keys for use in authentication.
