    Fundamentals Nonsecure protocols Default status Equivalent secure Default status protocols Important: You should take the appropriate security precautions within the network if you use HTTP. Note: On SSH, by default, HTTP is enabled and HTTPS is disabled. Out-of-band management Out-of-band management allows IPv4 or IPv6 switch or stack management using the dedicated out- of-band management port.
  • Page 15 Out-of-band management Only the base unit allows all commands for out-of-band management. if the base unit leaves the stack, the stack IP addresses and priveleges transfer to the temporary base unit (TBU). You need a link in the management port TBU for the IP address to be operational. On the base unit, if you configure the IP stack address, the base unit is the only active IP address in the stack.
