EX2500 Ethernet Switch Configuration Guide
By default, EX2500 Web Device Manager access is enabled on the switch.
Configuring EX2500 Web Device Manager Access via HTTP
By default, EX2500 Web Device Manager access via HTTP is enabled. Use the following command to disable or enable EX2500 Web Device Manager access on the switch via HTTP:
ex2500(config)# [no] access http enable
The default HTTP Web server port to access the EX2500 Web Device Manager is port 80. However, you can change the default Web server port with the following command:
ex2500(config)# access http port <TCP port number>
For workstation access to your switch via the EX2500 Web Device Manager, open a Web browser window and type in the URL using the IP interface address of the switch, such as:
http://10.10.10.1
Configuring EX2500 Web Device Manager Access via HTTPS
The EX2500 Web Device Manager can be accessed via a secure HTTPS connection over management and data ports. By default, EX2500 Web Device Manager access via HTTPS is disabled.
To enable EX2500 Web Device Manager access on the switch via HTTPS, use the following command:
ex2500(config)# access https enable
To change the HTTPS Web server port number from the default port 443, use the following command:
ex2500(config)# access https port <TCP port number>
Accessing the EX2500 Web Device Manager via HTTPS requires a SSL certificate to be used during the key exchange. A default certificate is created the first time HTTPS is enabled, but you can import a new certificate that defines the information you want to be used. Use the following command to import the SSL certificate:
ex2500(config)# access https
The certificate is saved to Flash memory for use once the switch is rebooted.
When a client (e.g. Web browser) connects to the switch, the client is asked to accept the certificate and verify that the fields match what is expected. Once EX2500 Web Device Manager access is granted to the client, the Web Device Manager can be used as described in the EX2500 Ethernet Switch Web Device Manager Guide.
