is disabling SSL2 + 3 possible on GS752TPv2

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to disable SSL2 and 3 on GS752TPv2??We have a Nessus vulnerability scan highlighting that this switch is using unsecure SSL version.

 

Thx

Ronnie

True, and asked several times recently. As log as no https connection is established using SSL2 or 3 (decent browsers won't use it), there is no risk for exposing data. So no rush...

True that clients would try highest protocol and crypto first but i guess someone wanting to exploit ssl2 and 3 vulnerability would find a way to force that protocol.

But i take it is not possible?

Sure one could force the protocol to be used on the client side, then e.g. login, while capturing the data transferred - what require again physical access to the data path. So how real is that in your environment? Do you access the switch using https in plain connection mode (off a VPN) over the wild Internet or an uncontrolled connection?

 

Look, I don't deny these obsolete stuff must be removed (not just disabled)...  @YeZ please, what is the status for updating al the maintained switches supporting https?

We dont access this off network. we only access this from the local site or via the VPLS network.

So you have the answer for the scan or audit result - it's not green (Netgear has to change this....), but it's acceptable until remediation is available.
