Access the Switch Through the Web Interface

Monitor the switch through a web browser from anywhere on the network. The web interface uses a 15-minute timeout period. If no activity occurs for 15 minutes, the system logs off the switch web interface, and you must re-enter the password information.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, with no difference in functionality or configuration.

Note

By default the web server is configured with the secure-only option, which requires you to use HTTPS to access EDM. To access EDM using HTTP, you must disable the secure-only option. For more information about configuring the secure-only option, see Enable the Web Management Interface.
