Access web interface on a switch Catalyst 3850+

[pdenableetoavit19698]

Hi there,

I am trying to access the web interface of a switch Catalyst 3850+.

What is the best way to do it?

And do you do it via the console port or just via one of the interfaces?

Thank you

Hello!

You have to configure it first. Access it over console and add the following config:

int gig0 - (use the mgmt or create a new vlan for mgmt access)
ip address xx.xx.xx.xx

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 X.X.X.X (in case of VRF add Mgmt-vrf)

username XXXX priv 15 pass 0 XXX

ip http server
ip http secure-server
ip http authentication local

You can also add ip http access-class, to restrict the access.

Then you can access it over https in the browser.

Thank you

over the console you mean with Putty? in privilege mode or configure t mode?

is there a "standard" ip address to use normally on these switches?

sorry what "priv 15" and "pass 0" stand for?

any commands to use to exit this configuration?

thank you!

Hello,

Yes I mean over the CLI in putty. In config t mode.

The IP is whatever you want as long it's not in conflict with the rest of the network:

Priv 15 will give the user privileges to configure/change/execure.

Pass 0 is just plain text password.

The main config for you here is:
ip http server
ip http secure-server
ip http authentication local

If you already have mgmt access to the switch this is all you need and you can connect to the https.
