The switch provides a Browser-Based Interface (BBI) for accessing the common configuration, management and operation features of the G8124 through your Web browser.

By default, BBI access via HTTP is enabled on the switch.

You can also access the BBI directly from an open Web browser window. Enter the URL using the IP address of the switch interface (for example, http://<IPv4 or IPv6 address>).

Configuring HTTP Access to the BBI

By default, BBI access via HTTP is enabled on the switch.

To disable or re-enable HTTP access to the switch BBI, use the following commands:

RS	G8124(config)# access http enable	(Enable HTTP access)
	-or-
RS	G8124(config)# no access http enable	(Disable HTTP access)

The default HTTP web server port to access the BBI is port 80. However, you can change the default Web server port with the following command:

RS G8124(config)# access http port <TCP port number>

To access the BBI from a workstation, open a Web browser window and type in the URL using the IP address of the switch interface (for example, http://<IPv4 or IPv6 address>).

Configuring HTTPS Access to the BBI

The BBI can also be accessed via a secure HTTPS connection over management and data ports.

1.Enable HTTPS.

By default, BBI access via HTTPS is disabled on the switch. To enable BBI Access via HTTPS, use the following command:

RS G8124(config)# access https enable

2.Set the HTTPS server port number (optional).

To change the HTTPS Web server port number from the default port 443, use the following command:

RS G8124(config)# access https port <x>
