Secure Socket Layer Protocol Commands

This module describes the commands used to configure the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

For detailed information about SSL concepts, configuration tasks, and examples, see the Implementing Secure Socket Layer on the Cisco IOS XR Software module in the System Security Configuration Guide for Cisco CRS Routers.

show ssl

To display active Secure Socket Layer (SSL) sessions, use the show ssl command in EXEC mode.

show ssl [process-id]

Syntax Description

process-id

(Optional) Process ID (PID) of the SSL application. The range is from 1 to 1000000000.

Command Default

None

Usage Guidelines

To display a specific process, enter the process ID number. To get a specific process ID number, enter run pidin from the command line or from a shell.

The absence of any argument produces a display that shows all processes that are running SSL.

Method

Protocol version (sslv2, sslv3, sslv23, or tlsv1).

Type

SSL client or server.

Peer

IP address of the SSL peer.

Port

Port number on which the SSL traffic is sent.
