Enabling HTTP Access to a Router
Problem
You want to configure and monitor your router using a browser interface.
Solution
Cisco includes an HTTP server in the IOS. You can enable this feature on a router, and then use any standard web browser to access the router instead of Telnet:
Router1#configure terminalEnter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router1(config)#access-list75permitRouter1(config)#172.25.1.1access-list75deny anyRouter1(config)#ip http serverRouter1(config)#ip http access-classRouter1(config)#75endRouter1#
Discussion
After configuring this feature on a router, you can then connect to the router from a standard web browser. For example, using the Lynx text-based web browser, the router’s home page looks like this:
Router1 Home Page
