Hyptertext Transfer Protocol The Hyptertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a set of rules for transferring and exchanging information (data, voice, images, and so on) on the World Wide Web. HTTP is based on a request-response model. An HTTP client initiates requests by establishing a TCP connection to a port on a remote host (port 80 by default). An HTTP server listening on that port waits for and then responds to the request; in many instances, the client is requesting a specific URL or IP address. Upon receiving a request, the destination server sends back the associated file or files and then closes the connection. The web server in XCM8800 allows HTTP clients to access the switch on port 80 (by default) as well as the network login page without additional encryption or security measures. For information about secure HTTP transmission, including Secure Socket Layer (SSL), see Secure Socket Layer on page 513. By default, HTTP is enabled on the switch. If you disabled HTTP access, you can re-enable HTTP access on the default port (80) using the following command: enable web http To disable HTTP, use the following command: disable web http Secure Shell 2 Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) is a feature of the XCM8800 software that allows you to encrypt session data between a network administrator using SSH2 client software and the switch or to send encrypted data from the switch to an SSH2 client on a remote system. Configuration, image, public key, and policy files can be transferred to the switch using the Secure Copy Protocol 2 (SCP2) or the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). The XCM8800 SSH2 switch application works with the following clients: Putty, SSH2 (version 2.x or later) from SSH Communication Security, and OpenSSH (version 2.5 or later). OpenSSH uses the RCP protocol, which has been disabled in the XCM8800 software for security reasons. Consequently, OpenSSH SCP does not work with the XCM8800 SSH implementation. You can use OpenSSH SFTP instead. The section describes the following topics: • Enabling SSH2 for Inbound Switch Access on page 505 504 | Chapter 17. Security
