Hello!
Today I noticed that I'm getting the following log message from the last couple of days:
%HTTP-4-SERVER_CONN_RATE_EXCEED: Number of connections per minute has exceeded the maximum limit(250)as specified by the platform.
Last week, I updated a couple of 4506 switches with the following IOS 15.2(2) E3 and only 2 of them are not getting the log message.
Can someone help me to troubleshoot this?
Thank you!

Hi there,
Either disable the HTTP server function:
! no ip http server no ip http secure-server !
Or if you use the HTTP for administration purposes, apply an ACL to ensure that unwanted traffic is dropped:
! ip http access-list <ACL_number> !
cheers,
Seb.

So mine is doing the same thing but we don't manage switches from http at all. Any idea why all of a sudden request would kick off and fill up the log? I was troubleshooting issues an hour ago and now my log has nothing but this message:
Jun 15 11:21:27 EST: %HTTP-4-SERVER_CONN_RATE_EXCEED: Number of connections per minute has exceeded the maximum limit(500)as specified by the platform.
I took your suggestion and "no" ed out those lines but is that the only thing ip http server controls?
device type: 3850 switch running denali 16.3.3

OK removing HTTP from the switch soles a problem, the question is what causes it? Is it a network breach?
In my case there were over 500 attempts or is it a bug?

You can use the "show ip http server connection" to see where the connections are originating
