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 712 .)
◆ 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.
