Generating a Certificate for BBI Access via HTTPS
Accessing the BBI via HTTPS requires that you generate a certificate for use during the key
exchange. The system creates a default certificate the first time you enable HTTPS, but you can
create a new certificate defining the information you want to be used in the various fields using the
following command:
You can save the certificate to flash for use if you reboot Alteon by using the apply and save
commands.
When a client (for example, a Web browser) connects to Alteon, the client is asked to accept the
certificate and verify that the fields are what are expected. Once you grant BBI access to the client,
the BBI can be used as described in the Alteon Application Switch Browser-Based Interface Quick
Guide.
Using the Management Port
The management port is a Gigabit Ethernet port on Alteon that is used exclusively for managing
Alteon. While you can manage Alteon from any network port, the management port conserves a
data port that could otherwise be used for processing requests. You can use the management port
to access Alteon using Telnet (CLI), SSH, or HTTP (BBI).
The management port does not participate in the switching and routing protocols that run on the
data ports, but it can be used to perform management functions such as:
•
Accessing the NTP server
•
Sending out SNMP traps
•
Sending out syslog messages
•
Accessing the RADIUS server
•
Accessing the server
•
Accessing the DNS server
•
Performing TFTP or FTP functions (ptimg, gtimg, ptcfg, gtcfg, ptdmp)
•
Accessing the SMTP server
>>/cfg/sys/access/https/generate
This operation will generate a self-signed server certificate.
