HTTP Configuration menu
Using the HTTP Configuration menu (/cfg/sys/adm/web/http), you can
configure BBI access using HTTP. By default, HTTP access is enabled, but
restricted to trusted clients. Depending on the severity of your security policy,
you can disable HTTP access and refine the list of trusted clients.
Note: HTTP is not a secure protocol. All data (including passwords)
between an HTTP client and the SMC is unencrypted and
unauthenticated. If secure remote access is required, see the "SSL
Configuration menu" on
Table 23 identifies and describes the HTTP Configuration menu commands.
Description
Specifies the logical HTTP port used by the built-in BBI Web
server. By default, the Web server uses HTTP port 80. You can
specify any port number except ports used by other services.
Enables HTTP access to the BBI. When enabled, trusted clients
on the access list can access the host IP address through HTTP.
See "Access List menu" on
Disables HTTP access to the BBI. When disabled, HTTP requests
to the host IP address are dropped.
SSL Configuration menu
Using the SSL Configuration menu (/cfg/sys/adm/web/ssl), you can
configure BBI access using HTTPS. HTTPS uses Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) to provide server host authentication, encryption of management
messages, and encryption of passwords for user authentication. For security
reasons, Nortel recommends that you use SSL with the BBI. By default, SSL
is disabled.
