Purpose
Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if
prompted.
Enters the global configuration mode.
Enables the RESTCONF interface on your network device.
The ip http server command enables the HTTP server on your
system.
The ip http secure-server command enables a secure HTTP
(HTTPS) server.
Note When enabling an HTTPS server, you should always
disable the standard HTTP server to prevent unsecured
connections to the same services. Disable the standard
HTTP server using the no ip http server command in
global configuration mode (this step is precautionary;
typically, the HTTP server is disabled by default).
Configure only one of the commands.
Indicates that the login user name, password and privilege level
access combination specified in the local system configuration
(with the username global configuration command) should be
used for authentication and authorization.
Exits global configuration mode and enters privileged EXEC
mode.
