 Chapter 1: Accessing the Switch BMD00136, November 2009
For workstation access to your switch via the BBI, open a Web browser window and type in the
URL using the IP interface address of the switch, such as:
http://10.10.10.1
Configuring BBI access via HTTPS
The BBI can also be accessed via a secure HTTPS connection over interface ports.
1. Enable HTTPS
By default, BBI access via HTTPS is disabled on the switch. To enable BBI Access via HTTPS, use
the following command:
2. Set the HTTPS server port number (optional)
To change the HTTPS Web server port number from the default port 443, use the following
command:
3. Use the apply and save commands to activate and store the configuration changes.
4. Generate the HTTPS certificate.
Accessing the BBI via HTTPS requires that you generate a certificate to be used during the key
exchange. A default certificate is created the first time HTTPS is enabled, but you can create a new
certificate defining the information you want to be used in the various fields.
5. Save the HTTPS certificate.
The certificate is valid only until the switch is rebooted. In order to save the certificate so that it is
retained beyond reboot or power cycles, use the following command:
>> # access https enable
>> # access https port <x>
>> access https generate-certificate
