Network requirements
As shown in
, users need to access and control the device through web pages.
For security of the device and to make sure that data is not eavesdropped or tampered with, configure the
device so that users must use HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, which uses SSL) to log in to the
web interface of the device.

Configuration considerations
To achieve the goal, perform the following configurations:
•
Configure Device to work as the HTTPS server and request a certificate for Device.
•
Request a certificate for Host so that Device can authenticate the identity of Host.
•
Configure a CA server to issue certificates to Device and Host.
Configuration procedure
In this example, Windows Server works as the CA server and the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol
(SCEP) plug-in is installed on the CA server.
Before performing the following configurations, make sure the switch, the host, and the CA server can
reach each other.
1.
Configure the HTTPS server (Device):
# Create a PKI entity named
en
, and configure the common name as
http-server1
and the FQDN
as
ssl.security.com
.
