Configuring the Switch for Secure Socket Layer HTTP

This section describes how to configure Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Version 3.0 support for the
HTTP 1.1 server and client. SSL provides server authentication, encryption, and message integrity, as
well as HTTP client authentication, to allow secure HTTP communications.To use this feature, the
cryptographic (encrypted) software image must be installed on your switch. You can download the
cryptographic software image from

www.dell.com/support.

For more information about the

cryptographic image, see the release notes for this release.

Understanding Secure HTTP Servers and Clients

On a secure HTTP connection, data to and from an HTTP server is encrypted before being sent over the
Internet. HTTP with SSL encryption provides a secure connection to allow such functions as configuring
a switch from a Web browser. Cisco's implementation of the secure HTTP server and secure HTTP client
uses an implementation of SSL Version 3.0 with application-layer encryption. HTTP over SSL is
abbreviated as HTTPS; the URL of a secure connection begins with https:// instead of http://.
