Both HTTP and HTTPS service can be enabled independently on the

switch. However, you cannot configure the HTTP and HTTPS servers to

use the same UDP port.

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, Netscape Navigator 6.2 or above, and Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.0

or above.

The following web browsers and operating systems currently support
