Enabling WebGUI on a Cisco Catalyst 2960

Introduction :
Networker generally access the network devices configuration via the command line which is faster in most situation. But for system administrator that don’t mess around with them or users that need to have a graphically interface to administer it, Cisco does have a feature that allow the device to be manage like those GUI you’ll find on consumer products.

Enviroment :
Cisco Catalyst 2960

Installation / Usage :
To enable the Cisco Web browser UI on a router or access server, use the ip http server global configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

The HTTP server is disabled on the Cisco Catalyst 4000 series switch. The HTTP server is enabled for clustering and on the following Cisco switches: Catalyst 3700 series, Catalyst 3750 series, Catalyst 3550 series, Catalyst 3560 series, and Catalyst 2950 series.

To view the home page of the router, use a Web browser pointed to http://x.y.z.t, where x.y.z.t is the IP address of your router or access server, or, if a name has been set, use http://router-name. Varying forms of authentication for login can be set using the ip http authentication command, but the default login method is entering the enable password when prompted.

Login via console and enable the HTTP services :

c2960>enable
c2960#conf t
c2960(config)#ip http server
c2960(config)#exit
c2960#wr mem
