Well, in the past few years, a majority of network administrators (like you) have become more security conscious and are responsible for making sure their entire network is totally secure from hackers, virus, worms trojans and things of that nature.

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).
