Enabling HTTPS service

After installing the HTTPS certificates, the web server (also known as the apache server) must be restarted to configure the HTTPS service. By default, the web service is running when the device boots.

The HTTPS certificates must be installed.

The web service can be started using one of the following mechanisms:
  • Restart the web service by using the http server use-vrf <vrf-name> shutdown command in configuration mode, followed by the no http server use-vrf <vrf-name> shutdown command.
  • Reboot the entire device.
  • Commit an HA failover, if that option is available.
