Configuring SSL

This section describes how to configure SSL. This procedure is part of a
comprehensive procedure to create certificates on the switch. See
Configuring SSL Certificates on page 337 for a list of all the procedures
you must complete to create certificates on the switch.

To configure the SSL protocol, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 6 to select Security Menu.

The Security Menu is shown in Figure 30 on page 105.

2. From the Security menu, select the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) menu.

The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Menu is shown in Figure 134.

3. Select 1 - Maximum number of Sessions to increase the number of

sessions.

Enter a value from 1 to 100. The maximum number of sessions is
used to speed up a connection. By increasing the number of
sessions, you increase HTTPS performance. However, increasing
the number of sessions also increases the memory requirements.
The default is 50.

4. Select 2 - Session Cache Timeout to increase or decrease the timer

that determines when the session cache times out.

Enter a value, in seconds, from 1 to 600. The default is 300
seconds.
