HTTP Configuration Menu
The HTTP Configuration Menu is used to configure BBI access using HTTP. By default,
HTTP access is enabled, but restricted to trusted clients. Depending on the severity of your
security policy, you may disable HTTP access and refine the list of trusted clients.

HTTP is not a secure protocol. All data (including passwords) between an HTTP
client and the Nortel Switched Firewall is unencrypted and unauthenticated. If secure remote
access is required, see the
SSL Configuration Menu on page 298
.

NSF 2.3.3 Browser-Based Interface User’s Guide

Command Syntax and Usage
port
<HTTP port number>
This command sets the logical HTTP port which is used by the built-in BBI web server.
By default, the web server uses well-known HTTP port 80. This can be changed to use
any port number, but should not be set to any port which is being used by other services.
ena
This command enables HTTP access to the BBI. This is the default. When enabled,
HTTP access to the host IP address is allowed for trusted clients which have been added
to the access list (see
Defining the remote access list on page 252
).
dis
This command disables HTTP access to the BBI. When disabled, HTTP requests to the
host IP address are dropped.
