GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Gigabit Smart Switches
Secure HTTP Configuration
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.
Use the Secure HTTP Configuration page to configure the settings for HTTPS
communication between the management station and the switch.
To display the Secure HTTP Configuration page, click
Security
>
Access
, and then click the
HTTPS
>
HTTPS Configuration
link.
To configure HTTPS settings:
1.
Use the radio buttons in the
HTTPS Admin Mode
field to enable or disable the
Administrative Mode of Secure HTTP.
The currently configured value is shown when the Web page is displayed. The default
value is Disable. You can only download SSL certificates when the HTTPS Admin mode
is disabled.
2.
Use the radio buttons in the
SSL Version 3
field to enable or disable Secure Sockets Layer
Version 3.0. The currently configured value is shown when the Web page is displayed. The
default value is Enable.
3.
Use the radio buttons in the
TLS Version 1
field to enable or disable Transport Layer
Security Version 1.0. The currently configured value is shown when the Web page is
displayed. The default value is Enable.
4.
In the
HTTPS Port
field, specify the TCP port to use for HTTPS data. The value must be in
the range of 1–65535. Port 443 is the default value. The currently configured value is shown
when the Web page is displayed.
5.
In the
HTTPS Session Soft Timeout
field, specify the number of minutes an HTTPS
session can be idle before a timeout occurs.
