# Vault UI
Vault features a web-based user interface (UI) that enables you to unseal,
authenticate, manage policies and secrets engines.
## Server configuration
To activate the UI, define the [`ui` stanza](/vault/docs/configuration/ui)
option in the Vault server configuration. The UI runs on the same port as the
Vault listener. As such, you must configure at least one `listener` stanza in
order to access the UI.
For example, the following configuration block enables the UI at
`https://10.0.1.35:8200/ui` for any machine on the same subnet as long as there
are no network firewalls in place that explicitly block communication:
<CodeBlockConfig hideClipboard>
```hcl
ui = true
listener "tcp" {
address = "10.0.1.35:8200"
# If bound to localhost, the Vault UI is only
# accessible from the local machine!
# address = "127.0.0.1:8200"
}
# ...
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
The Vault UI is also accessible at any DNS entry that resolves to the configured
IP address. For example, if you use Consul, you could configure a Consul service
address for the Vault UI as `https://vault.service.consul:8200/ui`.
<Note title="UI enabled in dev mode by default">
When you start the Vault server in dev mode, Vault UI is automatically enabled
at `http://127.0.0.1:8200/ui` and ready to use.
