IPv6 Training (Cisco)

Disabling HTTP Access to an IPv6 Router

By Charles Ross CCNP #CSCO10444244

Now just in case if you didn’t know, by default once you assign an IPv6 address to a Cisco router’s interface; that router is then automatically capable of being reached by using the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol or HTTP.

So, if you don’t want a particular Cisco IPv6 router to have the capability of being reached via HTTP, you’ll have to disable http access to the router; by performing the following steps on the router:

Steps:

Router>enable

Router#configure terminal

Router(config)#no ip http server

Router(config)#exit

Router#copy run start

Steps explained 

Step #1 

1. Router>enable

Puts router into Privileged EXEC mode.

Step #2  

2. Router#configure terminal

Puts router into Global configuration mode.

Step #3

3. Router(config)#no ip http server

Disables HTTP access to the router.

Step #4

4. Router(config)#exit

Causes router to exit global configuration mode and re-enters into Privileged EXEC mode.

Step #5

5. Router#copy run start

Saves the contents of the running-config to local Non -Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM).
