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.
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.
