The HTTP server interface must be enabled to display Express Setup. By default, the HTTP server 
is enabled on the switch. Use the show running-config privileged EXEC command to see if the 
HTTP server is enabled or disabled.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the HTTP server interface:
Express Setup uses the HTTP protocol (the default is port 80) and the default method of 
authentication (the enable password) to communicate with the switch through any of its Ethernet 
ports and to allow switch management from a standard web browser. 
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). Write down the port number through which you are connected. Use care when 
changing the switch IP information.
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.

HTTP server user authentication, is used.
