Open Caveats
•
If you are
not
using the default method of authentication (the enable password), you need to
configure the HTTP server interface with the method of authentication used on the switch.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the HTTP server interface:
•
The device manager uses the HTTP protocol (the default is port 80) and the default method of
authentication (the enable password) to communicate with the switch through any of its Ethernet
ports and to allow switch management from a standard web browser.
If you change the HTTP port, you must include the new port number when you enter the IP address
in the browser
Location
or
Address
field (for example, http://10.1.126.45:184 where 184 is the new
HTTP port number). You should write down the port number through which you are connected. Use
care when changing the switch IP information.
•
If you use Internet Explorer Version 5.5 and select a URL with a nonstandard port at the end of the
address (for example,
www
.
cisco.com:84
), you must enter
http://
as the URL prefix. Otherwise, you
cannot start the device manager.
