To configure the HTTP server settings:

1. Use HTTP Access to specify whether the switch may be accessed from a web browser.

If you choose to enable web mode you will be able to manage the switch from a web

browser. The factory default is enabled.

2. Use Java Mode to enable or disable the java applet that displays a picture of the switch at

the top right of the screen. If you run the applet you will be able to click on the picture of the

switch to select configuration screens instead of using the navigation tree at the left side of

the screen. The factory default is disabled.

3. Use HTTP Session Soft Timeout (Minutes) to set the inactivity time-out for HTTP

sessions. The value must be in the range of (1 to 60) minutes. The default value is 5

minutes. The currently configured value is shown when the web page is displayed.

4. Use HTTP Session Hard Timeout (Hours) to set the hard time-out for HTTP sessions.

This time-out is unaffected by the activity level of the session. The value must be in the

range of (1 to 168) hours. The default value is 24 hours. The currently configured value is

shown when the web page is displayed.

5. Use Maximum Number of HTTP Sessions to set the maximum allowable number of HTTP

sessions. The value must be in the range of (0 to 16). The default value is 16. The currently

HTTPS 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
