Catalyst 2900XL Web Management password
I've got a 2900XL that my predecessor set up. I went through the Cisco routine for recovering from lost passwords, and have good console and telnet access to the CLI. But I can't get into the Web interface. It asks for a username and password. Two questions: 1. how can I change the web interface username and password from the CLI? 2. any primers or tutorials on Catalyst switches than anyone can recommend? Quick and dirty, and on the Web, just until I can get some books ordered. Thanks, Ray Mosely, CCNA **NOTE: New CCNA/CCDA List has been formed.

RE: Catalyst 2900XL Web Management password
Try the following: Switch(config)#ip http server Switch(config)#ip http authentication enable This tells the switch to use the enable password for web access too. OR Switch(config)#ip http server Switch(config)#ip http authentication local Switch(config)#username ray password mosely This tells the switch to use the local user database for access, plus it will add you to it. As for books, I am currently reading the BCMSN book by Karen Webb which is a little too technical sometimes. I also just bought the CCIE LAN Switching book which is a heavy thing, but after having flipped some pages I think it looks pretty good. There are many good reviews about it. Also, many people think that the Exam Cram book is good too - but I haven't seen it. Hth, Ole Ole Drews Jensen Systems Network Manager CCNA, MCSE, MCP+I RWR Enterprises, Inc.

RE: Catalyst 2900XL Web Management password
Thanks for the tips. However the authentication option is not available on my switch. I've got: Switch(config)#ip http ? access-class Restrict access by access-class path Set base path for HTML port HTTP port serverEnable HTTP server I presume HTTP server was already enabled as I am able to connect to the web page, but I can't get authenticated. I'll look into those books.

RE: Catalyst 2900XL Web Management password
Hmm, weird. I guess there's a good chance that it is not using the enable password, so try to leave to "ip http authentication local" line out and create a new user with the "username ray password mosely" command and see if that will let you in.

RE: Catalyst 2900XL Web Management password
You should then immediately issue a "no ip http server" to disable the web interface and never use it again. It is a security vulnerability that you should never leave open...

RE: Catalyst 2900XL Web Management password
Hmmm, could you expand on this notion? How could it be a vulnerability if the admin can't even get in? My real problem is that I need to monitor the switch in order to diagnose a network connectivity issue. I believe the web based management has some visual monitoring that could be helpful.

you can change the port that the http server listens on to make it a little harder for a naughty person to find. ct-cat1(config)#ip http port ? 0-65535 HTTP port daveh -Original Message- From: Dale Holmes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2000 11:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Catalyst 2900XL Web Management password You should then immediately issue a "no ip http server" to disable the web interface and never use it again.
