Specifying an HTTP Port (Nondefault Configuration Only)

If you change the HTTP port, you must include the new port number when you enter the IP address in
the browser Location or Address field (for example, http://10.1.126.45:184 where 184 is the new
HTTP port number). You should write down the port number to which you are connected. Use care when
changing the switch IP information.

Configuring an Authentication Method (Nondefault Configuration Only)

If you are not using the default method of authentication (the enable password), you need to configure
the HTTP server interface with the method of authentication used on the switch.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the HTTP server interface:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
ip http authentication {enable | local |
tacacs}
Step 3 end
Step 4
show running-config
After you have configured the HTTP server interface, display the switch home page, as described in the
"Launching CMS" section on page
