Chapter 88: Secure HTTPS Web Browser Server
1418
Enabling the Web Browser Server
The command to activate the web browser server for secure HTTPS
operation is the SERVICE HTTPS command in the Global Configuration
mode. The command, which does not have any parameters, is shown
here:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# service https
Here are the guidelines to the command:
The switch should already have a management IP address. For
instructions, refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management
Addresses” on page 285.
The switch should have a HTTPS certificate.
If the HTTP mode is enabled, you must disable it with the NO
SERVICE HTTP command before activating the HTTPS mode.
The command is in the Global Configuration mode.
Now that the server is activated for HTTPS operation, you can begin to
manage the switch remotely using a web browser application from a
workstation on your network. Enter the IP address of the switch in the URL
field of the application and, when prompted by the switch, enter your login
user name and password. Be sure to include the “HTTPS://” prefix with the
IP address.
