Browser Access To Switch Fails (Catalyst 2960G)

[David Dembrow]

I am unable to access a series of switches connected together through a management vlan.  I receive the message "The server xx.xx.xx.xx at level_15_access requires a username and password."  Entering the username and password fails and the same username and password message returns.  I am able to ssh into the switch with the username and password that fails trying to access the switch with the browser.

How can I check the username and password for access with the browser?

I am trying to monitor switch performance.  Is there a good way to monitor switch performance with the command line interface?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Have you enabled "ip http server" an the switch?

Reza,

Thanks for the suggestion and refrenced documentation link.  I did have ip http server enabled, however, I did not have ip http authentication aaa specified.  Including that command accepted the same username and password used for ssh access.

Thanks very much,
