Enabling and Disabling SSL

This section describes how to enable and disable SSL on your switch.

Note

Before ExtremeXOS 11.2, the Extreme Networks SSH module did not include SSL. To use SSL for secure HTTPS web-based login, you must upgrade your core software image to ExtremeXOS 11.2 or later, install the SSH module that works in concert with that core software image, and reboot the switch.

Keep in mind the following guidelines when using SSL:

To use SSL with web-based login (secure HTTP access, HTTPS) you must specify the HTTPS protocol when configuring the redirect URL.
If you are downloading the SSH module for the first time and want to immediately use SSL for secure HTTPS web-based login, restart the thttpd process after installing the SSH module. For more detailed information about activating the SSH module, see GUID-CD95DC47-02DC-4030-A536-F734832E091C.

To enable SSL and allow secure HTTP (HTTPS) access on the default port (443), use the following command:
enable web https
To disable SSL and HTTPS, use the following command:
disable web https
