In an Internet Explorer 
browser session, you 
receive a message stating 
that the CMS page might 
not display correctly 
because your security 
settings prohibit running 
ActiveX controls.
A high security level prohibits ActiveX controls, which Internet Explorer 
uses to launch the Java plug-in, from running.
1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. From the menu bar, select Tools > Internet Options.
3. Click the Security tab.
4. Click the indicated Zone.
5. Move the Security Level for this Zone slider from High to Medium 
(the default).
6. Click Custom Level and verify that the four ActiveX settings are set 
to prompt or enabled.
Configuration changes are 
not always reflected in an 
Internet Explorer 5.0 
browser session.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 does not automatically reflect the latest 
configuration changes. Make sure you click the browser Refresh button 
for every configuration change.
Link graphs do not display 
information in an Internet 
Explorer 5.0 browser.
(For switches running 
software earlier than 
Cisco IOS 
Release 12.0(5)WC(1).)
Your browser security settings could be incorrect. If your browser security

2. From the menu bar, select Tools > Internet Options.
3. From the Internet Options window, click Advanced.
4. Select the Java logging enabled and JIT compiler for virtual 
machine enabled check boxes, and click Apply.

6. In the Temporary Internet Files section, click Settings, click Every 
visit to the page, and click OK.
