1.1.1.2 Management via HTTP
To manage the switch via HTTP, the following conditions should be met:
1) Switch has an IPv4/IPv6 address configured;
2) The host IPv4/IPv6 address (HTTP client) and the switch’s VLAN interface IPv4/IPv6 address
are in the same network segment;
3) If 2) is not met, HTTP client should connect to an IPv4/IPv6 address of the switch via other
devices, such as a router.
Similar to management the switch via Telnet, as soon as the host succeeds to ping/ping6 an
IPv4/IPv6 address of the switch and to type the right login password, it can access the switch via
HTTP. The configuration list is as below:
Step 1: Configure the IP addresses for the switch and start the HTTP server function on the switch.
For configuring the IP address on the switch through out-of-band management, see the telnet
management chapter.
To enable the WEB configuration, users should type the CLI command IP http server in the global
mode as below:
Switch>enable
Switch#config
