Enabling the Web Browser Server

The command to activate the web browser server for non-secure HTTP
operation is the SERVICE HTTP command in the Global Configuration
mode. The command, which does not have any parameters, is shown
here:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# service http

Here are the guidelines to using the command:

The switch should already have a management IP address. For
instructions, refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management
Addresses” on page 299.

If the web browser server is already configured for secure HTTPS, and
you are changing it back to non-secure HTTP operation, you must first
deactivate the HTTPS server with the NO SERVICE HTTPS
command, also in the Global Configuration mode.

Now that the server is activated for HTTP operation, you can begin to
manage the switch remotely using a web browser application from a
workstation on your network. Enter the IP address of the switch in the URL
field of the application and, when prompted by the switch, enter your login
user name and password.
