Enabling the Web Interface on your Router

With this article I will go you through the configuration of enabling the web interface of your router.

Before showing you the commands, that are quite simple, I will explain what we will achieve with them.

Enabling an HTTP server on the router allowing the administrator by using any web browser to configure the router by pointing to the IP address of the server.

Syntax of the Commands:

Router(config)#ip http server

Now if you wish to enable the web interface in a non default port (The default port is 80) you can use the following command:

Router(config)#ip http port [port number]

Example configuration:

Router(config)#ip http server

Router(config)#ip http port 8090

Enabling the web interface of the router, will not give us the choices we have when we use telnet to connect to it, but it can automate or at least make changes ages, allowing us to spend more time to serious configuration and not just opening or closing Ethernet ports.
