Connect to the Cisco switch and go into elevated privilege mode:
enable
Now go into the configuration mode:
configure terminal
Enable HTTP:
ip http server ip http authentication local
If necessary, you can disable HTTP and HTTPS as follows:
no ip http server no ip http secure-server
Add a user if it does not exist:
username NAME privilege 15 secret PASSWORD
If you want to allow HTTP access to only certain IPs, then let’s see what rules there are on the switch:
exit show access-list show ip access-lists configure terminal
If there is no necessary rule, then we will create:
access-list 10 permit 192.168.1.22 access-list 10 permit 192.168.3.10
See my article – Restricting access to the Cisco Catalyst 6500 management
Apply the rule to HTTP:
ip http access-class 10
To cancel it is possible so:
no ip http access-class 10
If you need to specify the maximum number of connection attempts:
ip admission max-login-attempts 5 show ip admission configuration
Leave their configuration mode and save the configuration:
exit write
