DVS-108 Series Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches User Manual 3.1.8.1 HTTP Configuration HTTP Configuration 3.1.8.2 HTTPS Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a communications protocol for secure communication. It enables the transmission of HTTP over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection. So HTTPS can help protect the communication between a computer and a switch from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. If you want to configure the switch to access an HTTPS connection from a computer, the switch needs a public key certificate. You can configure the switch to generate a key or download it to the switch.
