Can I enable the GUI for WAN configuration of a 1921 router?

[mwilliams]

I have a Cisco 1921 in place with the security IOS so it is also acting as a firewall.

I am wondering if I can enable the GUI so I can configure it remotely. Is that possible?

Thanks

hi morris,

yes, you can do this via Cisco's SDM or CCP.  see URL and initial router conifg below. note that SDM is the old GUI and CCP is the latest.

Router(config)#ip http server    OR

Router(config)#ip http secure-server

Router(config)#ip http authentication local

Router(config)#ip http timeout-policy idle 600 life 86400 requests 10000

Router(config)#username privilege 15 secret

Router(config)#line vty 0 4

Router(config-line)#privilege level 15

Router(config-line)#login local

John,

Thanks again!!!! I will run these commands tomorrow. I can do most of the configs I need using the CLI, but there is something reassuring having the GUI as well.

I'll follow up with you again after I get this working tomorrow.

Thanks!

hi morris,

sure just let this forum know if it worked.

on a personal note, GUI is nice but CLI is still the way to go.
