GUI for CISCO devices

Configuring CISCO devices using the CLI is both fun and sometimes a daunting task, but CISCO does make it a bit easier if not supremely easy for us to configure their devices, but, you still need to know your WANs from your LANS.

I am just including a brief text of enabling the GUI based interface of a Cisco router, it is in no ways a comprehensive post, also may vary from model to model.

First we need to enable the HTTP server on the router to enable us to use the web browser or the GUI mode.

We can use local or AAA authentication, the choice is left to the individual.

For local validation and authentication make a client with level 15 privilege.

Step 1. Enable HTTP Server on the router

ip http server

2. Enable HTTP Authentication

ip http authentication local

3. Create a Local user

Username username Privilege 15 Password password

4. Open your browser and go to the ip location of switch's joined interface. It will reveal to you Web GUI of CISCO router.

Weekend refurbishment

Going to refurbish this old but sturdy fella, Toshiba laptops are the best and my personal favorite.
The work involved is cleaning the laptop, adding new Ram, adding a hard disk and installing new operating system.
