Configuring 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.

Configuring Global Settings for HTTPS

Use the Security > HTTPS (Configure Global) page to enable or disable HTTPS and specify the UDP
port used for this service.

CLI References

“Web Server”

on page 159

Command Usage

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 under

“ip http server”

on

page 159.)

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.
