We recommend this browser setting to speed up the time needed to display the device manager from
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
From Microsoft Internet Explorer:
Choose Tools > Internet Options.
1.
Click Settings in the Temporary Internet files area.
2.
From the Settings window, choose Automatically.
3.
Click OK.
4.
Click OK to exit the Internet Options window.
5.
The HTTP server interface must be enabled to display the device manager. By default, the HTTP
server is enabled on the switch. Use the show running-config privileged EXEC command to see if
the HTTP server is enabled or disabled.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Configure the HTTP server interface for the type of authentication that
you want to use.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
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 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.
aaa—Enable the authentication, authorization, and accounting feature.
•
You must enter the aaa new-model interface configuration command
for the aaa keyword to appear.
• enable—Enable password, which is the default method of HTTP
server user authentication, is used.
local—Local user database, as defined on the Cisco router or access
•
server, is used.
