Configure HTTP and HTTPS access
settings
You can configure the HTTP and secure HTTP (HTTPS) access settings on the switch. If
you access the switch device UI, HTTP is the default access method.
You can also allow HTTPS access, which enables the transmission of HTTP over an
encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection. When you manage the switch over
the device UI, HTTPS can help ensure that communication between the management
system and the switch is protected from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks.
To configure the HTTP and HTTPS access settings:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network,
or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser and enter the IP address of the switch in the address field of
your web browser.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on-network
and connected to the Internet on page 25 or Access the switch off-network and not
connected to the Internet on page 32.
The Device Admin Password page displays.
If you did not yet activate your warranty, the Register to activate your warranty page
displays. For more information, see Register the switch on page 35.
3. Enter one of the following passwords:
• Enter your device admin password.
• If you previously managed the switch through the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight
app, enter the Insight network password for the last Insight network location.
For information about the credentials, see Credentials for the device UI on page 34.
4. Click the Login button.
The Dashboard page displays.
5. Select System > Protocols > HTTP.
The HTTP page displays.
6. Click the Allow HTTP toggle to enable or disable HTTP access:
• The toggle is gray and positioned to the left: You cannot access the switch
device UI from an HTTP session over a web browser.
• The toggle is purple and positioned to the right: You can access the switch
device UI from an HTTP session over a web browser. This is the default setting.
