◆
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.
