Hello,I think that web

I just downloaded LAN BASE WITH WEB BASED DEV MGR
c2960-lanbasek9-tar.122-55.SE10.tar and loaded it into the flash. Then pointed the boot to it in the subdirectory.

dir flash:

I opened Internet Explorer and entered in the switch IP address and got a Windows 7 Windows Security window stating. The server (switch IP address) is asking for your user name and password. The server reports that it is from level_15_access. Warning: Your user name and password will be sent using basic authentication on a connection that isn't secure.

I believe I have the telnet locked out.

line con 0
line vty 0 4
password password1
login local
transport input ssh
line vty 5 15
password password1
login local
transport input ssh

Therefore, I don't believe the line vty password can be used.

The only username and password level_15_access I am using is for the SSH login. The SSH login doesn't work in the Windows Security window. Can I log into the switch using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer? How do I use the WEB BASED DEV MGR?

Hello,
I think that web management will not work without transport input telnet.

Next thing is, that it is using enable password by default but you can change it with command: ip http authentication ... (local for example). But accout must have privilege level 15.

Since you have ...k9... image you can probably start "https" with command: ip http secure-server

I was able to log in using switch ip address and Internet Explorer. However, the application said it doesn't run on Internet Explorer 11 only Internet Explorer 5 and 6. Seems that the WEB BASED DEV MGR version is for older Internet Explorer and is not of any value for the current software I have. Therefore, I am planning to change back to bin firmware.

I know this message, that newer browser is not supported, but if you click continue then you can manage the switch.

But you have less options than over CLI.

You wrote

You can enable ip http secure-server and login to web management with https://ip_address_of_switch

But I never used CNA. I prefer CLI :-)

I have also tested that if you deny telnet connections then you will not able to connect to http server

I find if I try using https://ip_address_of_switch with Internet Explorer, I get

This page can’t be displayed

Turn on TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 in Advanced settings and try connecting to https://192.168.1.253 again. If this error persists, contact your site administrator.

Change settings

If I click Change settings, it will open Advanced, Internet options and show me that Use TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 are checked.

What I have is transport input ssh and that allows me to get to the same message using http as I do with https.

However, your last statement But you have less options than over CLI means I should not worry about setting up the WEB BASED DEV MGR.

Try use other browser than internet explorer. For example Firefox.

Web server of switch uses self signed certificate which is not trusted. Probably this is reason why internet explorer give you that message.

In firefox you will only click "I understand security risk and accept certificate" or something like that and then it should display page.

When using Firefox, I could log in using http. However, if I select Telnet in, I get Launch Application This link needs to be open with an application. I not sure what goes next or even if that would work since I select use SSH.

The Web Console link does not work. There is Show interfaces, Show diagnostic log, Monitor the router, Show tech-support, Extended Ping.

How to use the WEB BASED DEV MGR?
