Cisco Cisco IOS Software Release 15.2(3)E

The device manager 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). You should write down the port number through which you are connected. Use 
care when changing the switch IP information.

If you use Internet Explorer Version 5.5 and select a URL with a nonstandard port at the end of the 
address (for example, www.cisco.com:84), you must enter http:// as the URL prefix. Otherwise, you 
cannot launch the device manager.

The Bug Search Tool (BST), which is the online successor to Bug Toolkit, is designed to improve the 
effectiveness in network risk management and device troubleshooting. The BST allows partners and 
customers to search for software bugs based on product, release, and keyword, and aggregates key data 
such as bug details, product, and version. The tool has a provision to filter bugs based on credentials to 
provide external and internal bug views for the search input. 

To view the details of a caveat listed in this document: 

Access the BST (use your Cisco user ID and password) at 

Enter the bug ID in the Search For: field.
