Accessing GUI on C3850-12x48u

[Paulyp5]

I am wanting to access GUI on C3850 but without success so far, I have tried Express setup by letting the switch fully boot up and pressing and holding the mode button, but nothing happens no matter how long I press it for. I have then tried setting up the switch through CLI by setting up a management Vlan username and password etc and or allowing HTTP server and authentication but still unable to access the GUI. Any help will be much appreciated the switch is on software version 16 12 11

Usually as simple as below

config the management int gig0 with some IP address
ip address xx.xx.xx.xx

Or you can create an interface vlan

int vlan 10

ip add 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

Then, take the interface you connected  your laptop on and add this interface to the vlan 10

int Gx/x

switchport mode access

switchport access vlan 10

Setup your laptop on the same network as the switch

Create a user name and password for authentication

username XXXX priv 15 pass 0 XXX

Enable http service

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

If the configuration is correct, (reference Flavio's post), you may want to try a different browser, as not every browser is compatible with Cisco switches.

Thanks, a lot for the help I managed to set things up but I am getting a web browser error this site can't provide secure connection and error below in CLI

%WEBSERVER-5-CONNECTION_FAILED: Switch 1 R0/0: nginx: connection failed from host 172.16.16.32 - Cipher Mismatch/No shared cipher

You need to delete your cerfiticate... Try no cypto pki trustopoint TP-self-signed. You will also need to restart the http/https server on the switch, which can be achived with deleting the http configuration and re-applying it.
