SMART CAT5 SWITCH 16 IP

Figure 28 Security Settings

SSL settings

Force HTTPS - Access the Web front-end only using an HTTPS connection.

Smart 16 IP won't listen on the HTTP port for incoming connections.

KVM encryption - Controls the encrypting of the RFB protocol, used by the

Remote Console to transmit the screen data to the administrator machine and

keyboard and mouse data back to the host.

Off - No encryption used.

Try - Tries to make an encrypted connection. If unsuccessful, an unencrypted

connection is used.

Force - Makes an encrypted connection.

Smart 16 IP uses the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol for any encrypted

network traffic between itself and a connected client. When connecting, Smart 16

IP reveals its identity to a client using a cryptographic certificate. This is the same

for all Smart 16 IPs and won't match the network configurations applied to the

unit by its user. The certificate's underlying secret key is also used for securing

the SSL handshake. Hence, this is a security risk (but better than no encryption at

all).

You can generate and install a new certificate unique to a particular unit. Smart 16

IP can generate a new cryptographic key and the associated Certificate Signing

Request that needs to be certified by a certification authority (CA). A CA verifies

you are who you claim to be and signs and issues a SSL certificate to you.
