Controlling access to the HTTP interface
The attribute HTTP Access Enabled allows a user to stop any access to a unit via
HTTP at the HTTP web interface. The default value for this control is set to ‘Yes’,
which means that the unit can be accessed using the HTTP web interface. If the option
‘No’ is selected, then a warning is displayed as shown in Figure 6-65.
The HTTP
interface should be disabled if the HTTPS interface is configured. See
Configuring HTTPS/TLS using the Security Wizard on
page 6-98.
CAUTION
If the HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet and SNMP interfaces are all disabled, then it
will be necessary to use the Recovery image to reset IP & Ethernet
Configuration back to factory defaults to re-enable the interfaces.
Controlling access to the Telnet interface
The attribute Telnet Access Enabled allows a user to stop any access to a unit via
the telnet interface. The default value for this control is set to ‘Yes’, which means that
the unit can be accessed using the telnet interface.
