Configure HTTP access settings
You can choose to enable or disable web access to the switch's device UI through HTTP,
set the session timeout, and maximum number of HTTP sessions. HTTP is enabled by
default.
To configure the HTTP access settings:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the device management password.
The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The
password is case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
4. Select SETTINGS > WEB ACCESS.
The HTTP Configuration page displays. Set one or more of the following options.
5. Click the Admin Mode button to enable or disable remote access via HTTP.
When this setting is enabled, the button displays on the right side of the slide, and
the slide turns green.
6. In the HTTP Session Timeout (Minutes) field, type the number of minutes that a
session can be idle before the session times out.
The default is 60. The range is 0 to 60.
7. In the Maximum Number of HTTP Sessions field, set the number of concurrent
sessions allowed.
You can set a number from 1 to 4. For example, if you manage your home office or
small business network yourself, you might set this to 1. The default is 4.
8. When your settings are complete, click the APPLY button.
Your settings are applied.
Browser security message with HTTPS access
After you enable HTTPS access and you attempt to access the device UI, your browser
might display a security message that your connection is not private or not secure, or
that a problem with the security certificate occurred. You can safely dismiss this message.
