How to enable http access from cisco 1941 router

Hello,

I have a cisco 1941 router on which i want to enable http access. I am quite new to networking and i have little or no idea on how to achieve this via the command line interface. I'm aware i would need a console cable and a telnet client such as puTTY or ZOC (for mac) but my challenge is with the actual commands.

Please how do i go about this? Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

Type the following commands,

 

config t

ip http server

 

Below is a link that points to a software configureation guide for a 1941 router.

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/access/1900/software/configuration/guide/Software_Configuration.pdf

 

Hope this helps.

 

okay thanks. Sorry if this sounds stupid but please what is the first command you type in after the command line opens? Do you type in the hostname, followed by the username and password? OR?

No problem.  Type enable

 

At the > prompt, which is the user mode, type "enable".  If prompted for a password, try pressing enter.  If that doesn't work, enter cisco.

 

Now you should be at the router# prompt, which is the privilege mode.

At the # prompt, type config t

User mode (User EXEC mode)

User Mode is the first mode a user has access to after logging into the router. The user mode can be identified by the > prompt following the router name. This mode allows the user to execute only the basic commands, such as those that show the system's status. The router cannot be configured or restarted from this mode.

The user mode can be identified as shown below

router>

Privileged mode (Privileged EXEC Mode)

Privileged mode mode allows users to view the system configuration, restart the system, and enter router configuration mode. Privileged mode also allows all the commands that are available in user mode. Privileged mode can be identified by the # prompt following the router name. From the user mode, a user can change to Privileged mode, by running the "enable" command. Also we can keep a enable password or enable secret to restrict access to Privileged mode. An enable secret password uses stronger encryption when it is stored in the configuration file and it is more safe.

The Privileged mode can be identified as shown below

router#

Global Configuration mode

Global Configuration mode mode allows users to modify the running system configuration. From the Privileged mode a user can move to configuration mode by running the "configure terminal" command from privileged mode. To exit configuration mode, the user can enter "end" command or press Ctrl-Z key combination.

router(config)#

Thank you so much. If you don't mind please i have one more question. On my network, DHCP is no longer giving out IP addresses, i'm having to move too many devices to static. I'm thinking it's because the DHCP range is exhausted and i want to increase it. Please what commands do i use for this? OR is there a better way to solve this issue/prevent it's recurrence?

 

 

Your welcome.

Below is a sample dhcp config.

Type config t

at the router# prompt type:

ip dhcp pool mydhcp

network 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0

default-router 10.1.1.1

dns-server 8.8.8.8

ip dhcp excluded address 10.1.1.1 10.1.1.10

 

okay.. thank you.
