The commandalso lists the last 10 devices to establish HTTPS connections with the switch and when the connections wereestablished.If a browser connects to an WSS switch from behind a proxy, then only the proxy IP address is shown. Ifmultiple browsers connect using the same proxy, the proxy address appears only once in the output.Configuring and Managing DNSYou can configure an WSS switch to use a Domain Name Service (DNS) server to resolve hostnames intotheir IP addresses. This capability is useful in cases where you specify a hostname instead of an IP address in acommand.For example, as an alternative to the command ping 192.168.9.1, you can enter the command pingchris.example.com. When you enter ping chris.example.com, the WSS switch's DNS client queries a DNSserver for the IP address that corresponds to the hostname chris.example.com, then sends the ping request tothat IP address.Caution! If you disable the HTTPS server, Web View access to the switch is alsodisabled.
