Logging In To The Web Interface; Fips Compliance - HP 5830 Series Configuration Manual

Logging in to the Web interface

The device provides a built-in Web server for you to configure the device through a Web browser. Web
login is by default disabled.
To enable Web login, log in through the console port, and perform the following configuration tasks:
Enable HTTP or HTTPS service.
•
• Configure the IP address of a Layer 3 interface, and make sure the interface and the configuration
terminal can reach each other.
Configure a local user account for Web login.
•
The device supports HTTP 1.0 and HTTPS for transferring webpage data across the Internet.
HTTPS uses SSL to encrypt data between the client and the server for data integrity and security, and is
more secure than HTTP. You can define a certificate attribute-based access control policy to allow only
legal clients to access the device.
HTTP login and HTTPS login are separate login methods. To use HTTPS login, you do not need to
configure HTTP login.
Table 17 shows the basic Web login configuration requirements.
