R2511-HP MSR Router Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide(V5)

Logging in to the Web interface

The device provides a built-in Web server for you to configure the device through a Web browser. The

device supports HTTP 1.0 and HTTPS for transferring webpage data across the Internet.

HTTPS uses SSL to encrypt data between the client and the server for data integrity and security, and is

more secure than HTTP. You can define a certificate attribute-based access control policy to allow only

legal clients to access the device.

HTTP login and HTTPS login are separate login methods. To use HTTPS login, you do not need to

configure HTTP login.

NOTE:

HTTP is not supported in FIPS mode.

Table 20 shows the basic Web login configuration requirements.
