GS716T and GS724T Gigabit Smart Switches
Secure HTTP Configuration
Secure HTTP enables the transmission of HTTP over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection. When you manage the switch by using
a Web interface, secure HTTP can help ensure that communication between the
management system and the switch is protected from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle
attacks.
Use the Secure HTTP Configuration page to configure the settings for HTTPS
communication between the management station and the switch.
To display the Secure HTTP Configuration page, click
