hey guys,
I’m getting an issue using ip http server saying the http is an invalid input. i’m using 8.2.2.0400 of packet tracer is there a way to fix that?
Hello Isaac
Indeed, this is expected behavior from Packet Tracer. Remember, Packet Tracer is not an emulator but a simulator. That means that it is programmed to respond in the same way as a real IOS operating system. This means however that not all features have been programmed into it. It really only simulates a subset of the features that are available on a real device.
The ip http server command is actually not available in the simulator. Take a look at this context sensitive help from the command line of a 4331 router on Packet Tracer:
Router(config)#ip ?
access-list Named access-list
cef Cisco Express Forwarding
default-gateway Specify default gateway (if not routing IP)
default-network Flags networks as candidates for default routes
dhcp Configure DHCP server and relay parameters
domain IP DNS Resolver
domain-lookup Enable IP Domain Name System hostname translation
domain-name Define the default domain name
flow-export Specify host/port to send flow statistics
forward-protocol Controls forwarding of physical and directed IP broadcasts
ftp FTP configuration commands
host Add an entry to the ip hostname table
inspect Context-based Access Control Engine
ips Intrusion Prevention System
local Specify local options
name-server Specify address of name server to use
nat NAT configuration commands
route Establish static routes
routing Enable IP routing
scp Scp commands
ssh Configure ssh options
tcp Global TCP parameters
Router(config)#ip
You can see that there is no http or even https option available.
To be able to perform all of the available features in a device, it is preferrable to run an emulator like GNS3, EVE-NG, or CML.
I hope this has been helpful!
