Use the no ip http server global configuration command to disable the standard HTTP server. Use the
no ip http secure-server global configuration command to disable the secure HTTP server. Use the no
ip http secure-port and the no ip http secure-ciphersuite global configuration commands to return to
the default settings. Use the no ip http secure-client-auth global configuration command to remove the
requirement for client authentication.
To verify the secure HTTP connection by using a Web browser, enter https://URL, where the URL is the
IP address or hostname of the server switch. If you configure a port other than the default port, you must
also specify the port number after the URL. For example:
https://209.165.129:1026
or
https://host.domain.com:1026

Purpose
(Optional) Specify the CipherSuites (encryption algorithms) to be used
for encryption over the HTTPS connection. If you do not have a reason to
specify a particularly CipherSuite, you should allow the server and client
to negotiate a CipherSuite that they both support. This is the default.
(Optional) Configure the HTTP server to request an X.509v3 certificate
from the client for authentication during the connection process. The
default is for the client to request a certificate from the server, but the
server does not attempt to authenticate the client.
Specify the CA trustpoint to use to get an X.509v3 security certificate and
to authenticate the client certificate connection.
Use of this command assumes you have already configured a CA
Note
trustpoint according to the previous procedure.
(Optional) Set a base HTTP path for HTML files. The path specifies the
location of the HTTP server files on the local system (usually located in
system flash memory).
(Optional) Set the maximum number of concurrent connections that are
allowed to the HTTP server. The range is 1 to 16; the default value is 5.
(Optional) Specify how long a connection to the HTTP server can remain
open under the defined circumstances:
idle—the maximum time period when no data is received or response
•
data cannot be sent. The range is 1 to 600 seconds. The default is
180 seconds (3 minutes).
life—the maximum time period from the time that the connection is
•
established. The range is 1 to 86400 seconds (24 hours). The default
is 180 seconds.
• requests—the maximum number of requests processed on a
persistent connection. The maximum value is 86400. The default is 1.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Display the status of the HTTP secure server to verify the configuration.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
