NOTE:

SSL mainly comes in these versions: SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, and TLS 1.0, where TLS 1.0 corresponds to SSL 3.1.
When the switch acts as an SSL server, it can communicate with clients running SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0, and

can identify the SSL 2.0 Client Hello message from a client supporting SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 and

notify the client to use SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0 to communicate with the server. In FIPS mode, only TLS 1.0 is
supported.

SSL server policy configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in

Figure 409

, users need to access and control the device through web pages.

For security of the device and to make sure that data is not eavesdropped or tampered with, configure the

device so that users must use HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, which uses SSL) to log in to the

web interface of the device.

NOTE:

In this example, Windows Server works as the CA server and the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol
(SCEP) plug-in is installed on the CA server.

Before performing the following configurations, make sure that SecPath, the host, and the CA server
have IP connectivity between each other.
