Cisco Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module for HP BladeSystem p-Class Release Notes, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SE1

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the HTTP server

interface:

Command Purpose

Step 1 configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2 ip http authentication {enable | local |

tacacs}

Configure the HTTP server

interface for the type of

authentication that you want to use.

• enable—Enable password,

which is the default method of

HTTP server user

authentication, is used.

• local—Local user database,

as defined on the Cisco router

or access server, is used.

• tacacs—TACACS server is

used.

Step 3 end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4 show running-config

Verify your entries.

• The device manager uses the HTTP protocol (the default is port 80) and the default

method of authentication (the enable password) to communicate with the switch through

any of its Ethernet ports and to allow switch management from a standard web browser.

If you change the HTTP port, you must include the new port number when you enter the

IP address in the browser Location or Address field (for example, http://10.1.126.45:184

where 184 is the new HTTP port number). You should write down the port number

through which you are connected. Use care when changing the switch IP information.

If you are not using the default method of authentication (the enable password), you need

to configure the HTTP server interface with the method of authentication used on the

switch.
