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.

• If you use Internet Explorer Version 5.5 and select a URL with a nonstandard port at the

end of the address (for example, www.cisco.com:84), you must enter http:// as the URL

prefix. Otherwise, you cannot launch the device manager.

VLAN Interfaces and MAC Addresses

All VLAN interfaces have assigned MAC addresses that are derived from the base MAC

address. The base MAC address is the hardware address that is on the switch label. It also

appears when you enter the show version privileged EXEC command.

On the first VLAN interface (VLAN 1), the MAC address is the base MAC address + 0 x 40.

On the next VLAN interface that you configure, the MAC address is the base MAC address +

0 x 40 +1, and so on for other VLAN interfaces.

You can enter the show interfaces vlan vlan-id privileged EXEC command to show the

MAC and IP addresses. The MAC addresses that appear in the show interfaces vlan vlan-id

command output are not the same as the MAC address that is printed on the switch label (the

base MAC address).

By default, VLAN 1 is the interface that connects to the management network. When the

switch boots up, the DHCP client (switch) requests an IP address from a DHCP server by

using the MAC address of VLAN 1.
