SSL（Secure Sockets Layer）, a security protocol, is to provide a secure connection for the 

application layer protocol(e.g. HTTP) based on TCP. Adopting asymmetrical encryption tecnology, 

SSL uses key pair to encrypt/decrypt information. A key pair refers to a public key (contained in the 

certificate) and its corresponding private key. By default the switch has a certificate ( self-signed 

certificate) and a corresponding private key. The Certificate/Key Download function enables the 

user to replace the default key pair.           

The ssl enable command is used to enable the SSL function on the switch. To 

disable the SSL function, please use no  ssl enable command. Only the SSL 

function is enabled, a secure HTTPS connection can be established.
