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 via 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.
