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 6.2 or later versions.
