Guidelines for Activating SSL

Whether you are currently running SSH or downloading the SSH software module for the first time, you must complete the following steps to activate the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) functionality that is packaged with the SSH module.

Note

This procedure only applies if you are downloading SSH to the active partition and is not not necessary if downloading to the inactive partition along with a .xos upgrade

Before you can configure SSL on the switch, do the following:

Download and install the SSH software module on the active partition.
Activate the SSH software module.
Gracefully terminate and re-start the thttpd process running on the switch.

The following example activates SSL on the switch:

download image 10.10.10.2 bdx-15.1.7.4-ssh.xmod
run update
restart process thttpd

For more information about SSH2 and SSL, see Security.
