Access - NETGEAR XS728T ProSAFE Software Administration Manual

Access

From the Access tab, you can configure HTTP and Secure HTTP access to the switch
management interface. You can also configure access control profiles and access rules.
The Access tab contains links features described in the following sections:
• HTTP
• HTTPS
• Access Control
HTTP
Use the HTTP Configuration screen to configure the HTTP server settings on the system.
To configure the HTTP server settings:
1. Select Security > Access > HTTP > HTTP Configuration.
2. In the HTTP Session Soft Timeout field, specify the number of minutes an HTTP session
can be idle before a time-out occurs.
After the session is inactive for the configured amount of time, the administrator is
automatically logged out and must reenter the password to access the management
interface. A value of zero corresponds to an infinite timeout. The default value is 10
minutes.
The Maximum Number of HTTP Sessions is 5.
3. Click Apply to update the switch with the HTTP Authentication settings.
HTTPS
Secure HTTP enables the transmission of HTTP over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection. When you manage the switch by using
a web interface, secure HTTP can help ensure that communication between the
management system and the switch is protected from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle
attacks.
HTTPS Configuration
Use the Secure HTTP Configuration screen to configure the settings for HTTPS
communication between the management station and the switch.
To configure HTTPS settings:

1. Select Security > Access > HTTPS > HTTPS Configuration.
2. Use the radio buttons next to the HTTPS Admin Mode to enable or disable the
administrative mode of Secure HTTP.
