Configuring an HTTP Server

Now that the PDM is installed, let's see it in action. The PIX first must have the http server enable command set. This command enables the PIX to be a Web server and host PDM Web pages. The next step is to define which managed clients will be allowed HTTPS access to the PIX. This is very similar to the command for enabling Telnet users' access. The following commands are necessary to enable the Web server function and allow a single host access:

 pixfirewall(config)# http server enable pixfirewall(config)# http 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 inside pixfirewall(config)# show http http server enabled 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 inside 

You can also allow an entire subnet access by using the following commands:

 pixfirewall(config)# http 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 inside pixfirewall(config)# show http http server enabled 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 inside 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 inside
