25.7.1 HTTPS Example
If you haven’t changed the default HTTPS port on the switch, then in your browser enter
“https://switch IP Address/” as the web site address where “switch IP Address” is the IP
address or domain name of the switch you wish to access.
The HTTPS proxy server listens on port 443 by default. If you change the HTTPS proxy
server port to a different number on the switch, for example 8443, then you must notify people
who need to access the switch web configurator to use “https://switch IP Address:8443” as the
URL.

When you attempt to access the switch HTTPS server, a Windows dialog box pops up asking
if you trust the server certificate. Click View Certificate if you want to verify that the
certificate is from the switch.
You see the following Security Alert screen in Internet Explorer. Select Yes to proceed to the
web configurator login screen; if you select No, then web configurator access is blocked.
