HTTPS

You can configure the switch to enable the Secure Hypertext Transfer

Protocol (HTTPS) over the Secure Socket Layer (SSL), providing secure

access (i.e., an encrypted connection) to the switch’s web interface.

SAGE

Both the HTTP and HTTPS service can be enabled independently on the

switch. However, you cannot configure both services to use the same

UDP port. (HTTP can only be configured through the CLI using the

ip

http server

command described on

page 604

.)

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.
