setup https port

Change the HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer) listening port. PacketWise is automatically configured to run HTTP over SSL on port 443; use this command to select a different port.

Note: HTTPS is a protocol for transferring private documents over the Internet. Selecting the Secure Login checkbox when logging into the browser interface will tell PacketWise to use a secure connection, and the URL will subsequently be changed to https://<ip address>. Alternatively, you can type the URL https://<ip address> and the Secure Login checkbox will be selected automatically.

setup https port <port_number>|default

where <port_number> is the new HTTPS port number and default uses the default HTTPS port, 443.

Note: If your unit is configured in shared mode with PolicyCenter, the default is the HTTPS port number of the parent group, which may or may not be 443.

Examples:

To use HTTPS on port 444:

setup https port 444
HTTPS service will be restarted on port 444. It may take up to 10 seconds for the new value to take effect. Please use "setup https show" to verify the service status.

Or, to use HTTPS on the default port:

setup https port default

The HTTPS service will start on the designated port in less than 10 seconds. If the configured port was already in use, PacketWise automatically uses the last valid port number specified, or the default value (443). Use the setup https show command to verify that the port number was accepted.
