Author How do disable Http Access top My router

I found that if I point a web browser to one of my external ip addresses I prompts you for a username and password. This username and password allows access to my router via a web browser. How can I disable this?

Thanks...

Router(config)#no ip http server

Or, if you feel the need to use a web interface to manage your router (which you shouldn't ), you can restrict access with

Router(config)#ip http access-class aclnumber

I think this is what you are refering to

Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# no ip http server

Always disable that because it is a big security risk.

Is this enabled by default?

This is not enabled by default. Cisco recommends disabling it only if you have already enabled it.

Initially it was thought to be a good idea, so many people enabled it, so there are may routers out there like that. We have been disabling ours for a couple of years now after initially enabling it.

Hi everyone,

you probably all know this, but with regards to the: ip http server command, i found this interesting link on Cisco.com.


Actually, this about 2 months old now, it caused big news on all security advisories.

Here's the link:
