Security -> Access section of Admin GUI of M4300 does not exist as docs state.
Trying to disable some old protocols on this M4300 switch that are enabled by default. We'd like to start by enabling HTTPS and disabling HTTP, followed by disabling Telnet and enabling SSH.
https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/M4300/M4300_M4300-96X_UM_EN.pdf
Page 527 states: 4. Select Security > Access > HTTPS > HTTPS Configuration.
and
4. Select Security > Access > Telnet.
But the security menu on the left section of my admin gui post login does not show any sections under Security at all. I've tried on Chrome and Edge without luck. I tried upgrading to firmware to 12.0.17.16 which didn't result in the Access section to show up.. Can this only be done via the console?

Permit (or fully deny) any telnet and http access similar to the two examples for configuring Management ACL (for IPv4) and Configure IPv6 ACLs as shown in the examples on the M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches Software Administration Manual starting from p.221 ff.

That seems right. Thank you. However, it looks like my switch does not support secure protocols. See below.

Hi, just bumping this thread to check if there is a possibility the switch does not support secure protocols? Should I be looking into a replacement?
