Cisco 887VA GUI search

[Slurp]

Hi there - I've inherited a Cisco 887VA router and have successfully factory reset it to 10.10.10.1. I can browse to it, using the default cisco/cisco credentials, but there seems to be no GUI - only a list of commands. Does such a GUI exist, or is there a configuration tool that can be downloaded ?

Thanks in advance.

as the release notes mention a bug for this series it suggests there is a GUI f

CSCvv08356

AP 860VAE-W GUI does not reflect changes in WLAN Configuration

what do you mean with only a list of commands ? is this when accessing the router over http(s)?
did you configure an account/password first to login into the gui?

if you accessed from the cli check if the running config contains (default)

no ip http server
no ip http secure-server

 you can use
   configure terminal
      ip http server
      ip http secure-server
   end
   write (or copy running-config startup-config

Yes, it's when I access it via https. I've not created any usernames or passwords - just went in as cisco/cisco. It sounds as though I have to jump through a couple of hoops before I can access a GUI. All advice gratefully received. Apologies for my ignorance, I come from a far simpler (Draytek) background !
Cheers, Steve

Pieterh,
Many thanks for this - I'll give it a go. Do I need to set up a username and password to access the GUI as well, or will the default cisco/cisco suffice ?

the model used to be supported by Cisco Network Assistant see this post
Is Cisco 867VAE supported in CNA (Cisco Network Assistant)? - Cisco Community

but CNA itself is EOL,
Cisco Network Assistant - Retirement Notification - Cisco
this refers to Cloud and Systems Management for other options like
Cisco Configuration Assistant (CCA) - Cisco

Pieterh,
I was hoping to avoid having to go down the CCA route, as they seem to want money for it ! I've managed to create my own username and password, with level 15 privileges, but am still getting the command list, rather than a GUI. Do I need to configure an IP address for one of the ports, rather than rely on the VLAN 10.10.10.1 ? I'm currently in Fast Internet Port 0.

ip forward-protocol nd

Again - thanks for your help with this. Steve

Hi there,
some older GUI's only offer a web-interface to construct the CLI commands, not a  "real" GUI
if this is not what you are looking for, then stick to the command line using console-port or telnet/SSH

yes, normally you need an account attached to a service contract to download software,
did you try logging in with the same account you use for this forum ?

no you do not need to add another  ip-address, the current address is sufficient for now.
   ip http access-class 23  ->> check if an corresponding "access-list 23 "exists in the configuration

Pieterh,
Ah - that explains it. Yes, I'm getting the interface to construct commands. In a way, that's a relief. At least I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm just used to pointy-clicky configs.
Unfortunately I don't have a service contract with Cisco, as I only inherited this unit and am playing with it to see if it's worth setting up. I think I'll persist with it - just need to put it into a test environment where I can really get to grips with the fine tuning.
Thanks you so much for your time and patience on this - I'm genuinely grateful for your help in pointing me in the right direction.
Regards, Steve

you're welcome

[balaji.bandi]

can you post show version installed on the device.

if you have right image , you need create local user to access GUI :

username balaji privilege 15 xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx

ip http authentication local

Balaji, it's version 15.5. I have a local username in place and the ip http settings all look correct. I suspect it's as Piterh says, it's not a true GUI - just a command builder.
Thanks for picking this up - I'm really grateful for the community support here.
