Secure (more) switch administration...

Can't believe NetGear support have suggested I raise this as a 'new' idea... but here goes.

Can we please have a secure means of administering the above switch such that the password is not passed in clear... i.e. use of HTTPS (SSH/TLS)

I know, this is just ground breaking stuff... :P

The switch is marketed as an SMB switch and ironically has ProSafe in it's title.

While we're at it... any chance of being able to use complex passwords on the most if not their entire ReadyNAS range? apprently that's also deemed to be an advanced and seldom requested feature...
