Configuring HTTP access

When HTTP access is disabled, only HTTPS access is available to the clients. The SMI-A server must be stopped to enable HTTP access, and must be running to disable HTTP access.

You must have Administrator privileges (Windows) or root/admin privileges (Linux, Solaris, and AIX) to enable or disable HTTP access. This option is disabled if you do not have the appropriate privilege.

1.Launch the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool.

2.Click HTTP Access in the menu tree (see Figure 11).

The content pane displays the current setting, which is selected and unavailable. If the SMI-A server is not running, the Configuration Tool cannot determine whether HTTP access is enabled and so displays the default setting and not the current setting.

3.To change the HTTP access setting, click the button of the available option.

If HTTP access is already enabled, the Disable HTTP Access option is available. If HTTP access is already disabled, the Enable HTTP Access option is available.

4.Perform one of the following actions:

To enable HTTP access, ensure that the SMI-A server is stopped. Click the Stop Server button. To disable HTTP access, ensure that the SMI-A server is running. Click the Start Server button.

5.Click Apply.
