enable ssl
Purpose
Used to enable the SSL function on the Switch.
Syntax
enable ssl {ciphersuite {RSA_with_RC4_128_MD5 | RSA_with_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA |
DHE_DSS_with_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA | RSA_EXPORT_with_RC4_40_MD5}}
Description
This command will enable SSL on the Switch by implementing any one or combination of
listed ciphersuites on the Switch. Entering this command without a parameter will enable the
SSL status on the Switch. Enabling SSL will disable the web-manager on the Switch.
Parameters
ciphersuite
−
A security string that determines the exact cryptographic parameters, specific
encryption algorithms and key sizes to be used for an authentication session. The user may
choose any combination of the following:
RSA_with_RC4_128_MD5
– This ciphersuite combines the RSA key exchange, stream
cipher RC4 encryption with 128-bit keys and the MD5 Hash Algorithm.
RSA_with_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
−
This ciphersuite combines the RSA key exchange,
CBC Block Cipher 3DES_EDE encryption and the SHA Hash Algorithm.
DHE_DSS_with_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
−
This ciphersuite combines the DSA Diffie
Hellman key exchange, CBC Block Cipher 3DES_EDE encryption and SHA Hash
Algorithm.
RSA_EXPORT_with_RC4_40_MD5
−
This ciphersuite combines the RSA Export key
exchange, stream cipher RC4 encryption with 40-bit keys.
The ciphersuites are enabled by default on the Switch, yet the SSL status is disabled by
default. Enabling SSL with a ciphersuite will not enable the SSL status on the Switch.
Restrictions
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To enable SSL on the Switch for all ciphersuites:
DES-3528:admin# enable ssl
Command: enable ssl
Note: Web will be disabled if SSL is enabled.
Success.
DES-3528:admin#
NOTE:
Enabling SSL on the Switch will enable all ciphersuites. To utilize a particular ciphersuite,
the user must eliminate other ciphersuites by using the
disable ssl
command along with the
appropriate ciphersuites.
NOTE:
Enabling the SSL function on the Switch will disable the port for the web manager (port 80).
To log on to the web based manager, the entry of the URL must begin with
https://
. (ex.
https://10.90.90.90)
