Will changing WWW Service Port affect Hotspot?

Hi all,

Will changing the WWW Service port affect Hotspot users?

I want to remotely view graphs and need to change the WWW Service port to 81 because my WISP uses port 80 for CPE admin.

I have hotspot users online right now, and I don’t want to “experiment” and disrupt their service. :slight_smile:

Since the Hotspot “serves” up the captive portal pages, I’m guessing that it uses the internal web server whose port is now configured to 80 in /IP services.

Please help. I really need access to the historical trends!

Thanks!

No, it does not.

“Customizing HotSpot: Firewall Section” outlines the ports used for servlets.

Thanks fewi! Your time and assistance is greatly appreciated.

I just re-read the docs section that you posted… understood about half of it. :slight_smile:

But now I understand better what the following means:

Redirect all HTTP login requests to the HTTP login servlet. The 64873 is HotSpot HTTP servlet port.

Have a great day.
