HTTP Management Access
HTTP Admin Mode
Enables or disables the HTTP administrative mode. When enabled, the device can be
accessed through a web browser using the HTTP protocol.
HTTP Port
The TCP port number on which the HTTP server listens for requests. Existing HTTP login
sessions are closed whenever this value is changed. All new HTTP sessions must use the
new port number.
Note:
Before changing this value, check your system to make sure the desired port number
is not currently being used by any other service.
HTTP Session Soft Time
Out (Minutes)
HTTP session inactivity timeout value. A logged-in user that does not exhibit any HTTP
activity for this amount of time is automatically logged out of the HTTP session.
HTTP Session Hard Time
Out (Hours)
HTTP session hard timeout value. A user connected to the device via an HTTP session is
automatically logged out after this amount of time regardless of the amount of HTTP activity
that occurs.
Maximum Number of HTTP
Sessions
The maximum number of HTTP sessions that may be connected to the device
simultaneously.
Management VLAN
Management VLAN ID
Access to the management software is controlled by the assignment of a management VLAN
ID. Only ports that are members of the management VLAN allow access to the management
software.
By default, the management VLAN ID is 1. The management VLAN can be any value
between 1 and 4093. All ports are members of VLAN 1 by default; the administrator may want
to create a different VLAN to assign as the management VLAN and associate it with a
management port (see the next field).
A VLAN that does not have any member ports (either tagged or untagged) cannot be
configured as the management VLAN.
When the network protocol is configured to be DHCP, any change in the configured
management VLAN ID may cause disruption in connectivity because the switch acquires a
new IP address when the management subnet is changed. To reconnect to the switch, the
user must determine the new IP address by viewing the log on the DHCP server.
Management Port
Access to the management software can also be controlled by the selection of a management
port. The selected management port is auto-configured to be an untagged member of the
management VLAN and is excluded from any other untagged VLANs.
When the switch boots with the default configuration, any port can be used as management
port and this field is configured as None.
You can configure a management port to ensure that a port always remains an untagged
member of the configured management VLAN; this helps to ensure management connectivity
in case of an accidental change in VLAN membership.
If no management port is specified, then all ports that are members of the management VLAN
provide access to the switch management interface. If a management port is configured,
access to the switch is restricted to that port. For example, if VLAN 1 is the management
VLAN and port 10 is the management port, other ports that are members of VLAN 1 will not
provide access to the switch management interface.
The features that utilize the management port include the following:
DHCP
SNMP
SNTP
TFTP
