Example 7-17 enables both the HTTP (
ip http server
) and HTTPS (
ip http secure-server
)
services on the router. Of course, HTTPS is the preferred method of accessing the CME
GUI because the CME router encrypts all communication. The
ip http path flash:/gui
command sets the HTTP server to use files from the GUI subdirectory of flash memory of
the CME router for HTTP requests. Finally, the CME router uses its local user database to
authenticate users attempting to access the web interface.
Note:
You might need to change the argument of the
ip http path
command based on
where the HTML files are located for the CME GUI. Earlier versions of CME placed all
CME files directly into flash without any directory structure. In this case, the command
should be entered as
ip http path flash:
.
The next step in enabling the CME GUI is to create a user account with permission to ac-
cess and manage the CME router. Example 7-18 configures this.

The CME router is now equipped with a user account called NinjaAdmin with the pass-
word cisco.
By default, the CME GUI is not able to add ephone-dns to the CME configuration or
modify the time on the CME router. The
dn-webedit
and
time-webedit
commands unlock
these functions.
