Enabling access to the REST API

TheAOS-CXWeb UI andAOS-CXreal-time notifications subsystem rely on the REST API, therefore, all three are enabled or disabled together.

To access the REST API, Web UI, or notifications subsystem, the HTTPS server must be enabled on the specified VRF. The VRF you specify determines from which network the features can be accessed. You can enable access on multiple VRFs, including user-defined VRFs, by entering thehttps-server vrf命令对每个你想使一个多联机ccess.

Prerequisites

You must be in the global configuration context:switch(config)#
The password for theadminuser must be configured on the switch.

Procedure

Enable HTTPS server access for the specified VRF.

For example:

To enable access on all data ports on the switch, specify the default VRF:
```
switch(config)#https-server vrf default
```
NOTE:
The Aruba 6100 Switch Series only supports thedefaultVRF.
To enable access on the OOBM port (management interface IP address), specify the management VRF (not applicable to the 6100):
```
switch(config)#https-server vrf mgmt
```
To enable access on ports that are members of the VRF namedvrfprogs, specifyvrfprogs:
```
switch(config)#https-server vrf vrfprogs
```

If the switch responds with the following error, theadminuser must have a valid password:

Failed to enable https-server on VRF mgmt. 'admin' password is not set

The switch is shipped from the factory with a default user namedadminwithout a password. Theadminuser must set a valid password before HTTPS servers can be enabled.
