Now just in case if you didn’t know, by default once you assign an IPv6 address to a Cisco router’s interface; that router is then automatically capable of being reached by using the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol or HTTP.
So, if you don’t want a particular Cisco IPv6 router to have the capability of being reached via HTTP, you’ll have to disable http access to the router; by performing the following steps on the router:
Steps:
Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Router(config)#no ip http server
Router(config)#exit
Router#copy run start
Steps explained:
Step #1
1. Router>enable
Puts router into Privileged EXEC mode.
Step #2
2. Router#configure terminal
Puts router into Global configuration mode.
Step #3
3. Router(config)#no ip http server
Disables HTTP access to the router.
Step #4
4. Router(config)#exit
Causes router to exit global configuration mode and re-enters into Privileged EXEC mode.
Step #5
5. Router#copy run start
Saves the contents of the running-config to local Non -Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM).
