Command Usage
• 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
and Netscape Navigator 4.x or later versions.
