Multiple Context - Changing http server port

[blackswans]

Hi,

Is it possible to change the firewall https port to different port? Normally in single context mode you can change it with this command.

http server enable 4434

In multiple context mode there is no option for the port...

http server enable ?

Hi,

Yes, you should be able to change it to a different port number either from single or multiple mode.

Make sure you're in the "admin" context to make such a change.

I am in the admin context but still there is no option for port setting.

I think that is the problem, you are in the admin context.  From my understanding the admin context is just used for administration and therefore the need to use different ports for ASDM is not needed (as 443 is used by HTTPS traffic to the internet).  However, if you go to one of the other contexts and issue the http server enable ? command you will see that you are now able to enter a port other than the default.

hi marius,

i just tried this on our live ASA 5520 and you're right, it can't be done on admin context.

it also can't assign a diffrent port under a different context. only default 443 is accepted.

ciscoasa/admin(config)# ip http serve enable ?

Yes in both context you cannot change the port.
