Enable the Web Management Interface
About this task
Enable the web management interface to provide management access to the switch using a web browser.
HTTP and HTTPS, and FTP support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, with no difference in functionality or configuration.
Important
To enable HTTP access to the device, you must disable the web server secure-only option. To enable HTTPS access to the device, the web server secure-only option is enabled by default. The TFTP server supports both IPv4 and IPv6 TFTP clients.
Procedure
-
Enable the web
server:
web-server enable
Important
-
The system prompts you to change the admin and read-only user default passwords when you use the web-server enable command to enable the web management interface.
