Enable HTTPS/SSL (Secure Socket Layer) management access

System > SSL Settings
By default, your switch management page can be accessed using standard web HTTP
protocol which is unsecure. Enabling HTTPS/SSL management access allows access to
the switch management page using secure encrypted communication which prevents
unauthorized users from intercepting user name and password credentials. Typically,
the switch is accessed within the local network only by system administrators which
does not necessarily require additional security. It is recommended to only enable this
feature, if allowing switch management access from other networks or over the
Internet.
Note: Once HTTPS/SSL management access is enabled, HTTP management access will be
disabled forcing all access to the switch management page using secure encryption
communication only.
1. Log into your switch management page (see
on page 7).
2. Click on System, and click on SSL Settings.
3. Review the settings. Click Apply to save changes.
