For the Web server on the switch to accept HTTPS connections from a management station, the Web server
needs a public key certificate. The DWS-4000 Series switch switch has a self-generated certificate installed on
it by default. The switch can also generate its own certificates, or you can generate these externally (i.e., off-
line) and download them to the switch.
Generating Certificates
To have the switch generate the certificates:
1.
Click
Generate Certificate
.
The page refreshes with the message “Certificate generation in progress”.
2.
Click
