Enable https / Disable http on GS728TP

I need to know how to enable https and disable http on a Netgear GS728TP switch. If http cannot be disable, how to I automatically forward it to an https connection?

 

Any help is appreciated.

    Hi AlanWillemssen,

     

    Welcome to our community! :)

     

    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.

     

    Here is the manual on how to setup the HTTPs management (page 171) and then manually set a port forwarding to your firewall/router.
