By default, access to the ProxySG Management GUI is performed using the encrypted HTTPS protocol (over port 8082). The HTTP console (using port 8081) is configured but disabled by default. There are a number of occasions where access is required using the unencrypted HTTP protocol. For instance:
This can be done two ways. Via the management GUI, if you are still able to access it. Otherwise if HTTPS access is restricted, the command line can be used.
Via GUI
Via CLI
The console commands below show how to view the current status, enable the console and then disable the console.
ProxySG#conf t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CTRL-Z. ProxySG#(config)management-services ProxySG#(config management-services)edit http-console ProxySG#(config HTTP-Console)view Service Name: HTTP-Console Service: HTTP-Console Destination IP Port Range <All> 8081 Disabled ProxySG#(config HTTP-Console)enable all 8081 ok ProxySG#(config HTTP-Console)view Service Name: HTTP-Console Service: HTTP-Console Destination IP Port Range <All> 8081 Enabled
ProxySG#(config HTTP-Console)disable all 8081 ok ProxySG#(config HTTP-Console)view Service Name: HTTP-Console Service: HTTP-Console Destination IP Port Range <All> 8081 Disabled |
After enabling Port 8081 the GUI can then be accessed using http://x.x.x.x:8081.
NOTE: For security reasons, the HTTP GUI should only be enabled for the duration of the required testing.
