Cisco Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(52)SE

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the HTTP server interface:

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 start the device manager.

On switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(35)SE or later, connectivity issues might occur with 
these messages:

%SUPQ-4-CPUHB_RECV_STARVE: Still seeing receive queue stuck after throttling

There is no workaround.

When you configure an ACL and enter the access-group interface configuration command to apply 
it to an interface for web authentication, the output from the show epm session ip-address or show 
ip access_list interface interface-id privileged EXEC command does not show any web 
authentication filter ID.

There is no workaround.

Enter global configuration mode.

ip http authentication {aaa | enable | 
local}

Configure the HTTP server interface for the type of authentication that 
you want to use.

aaa—Enable the authentication, authorization, and accounting feature. 
You must enter the aaa new-model interface configuration command 
for the aaa keyword to appear.

enable—Enable password, which is the default method of HTTP 
server user authentication, is used.

local—Local user database, as defined on the Cisco router or access 
server, is used.

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Verify your entries.
