Ethernet Access
If you want to prevent any device that is connected to the
Ethernet port of the SM from accessing the management
interface of the SM, select Ethernet Access Disabled. This
selection disables access through this port to via HTTP (the
GUI), SNMP, telnet, FTP, and TFTP. With this selection,
management access is available through only the RF interface
via either an IP address (if Network Accessibility is set to
Public on the SM) or the Session Status or Remote Subscribers
tab of the AP.
This setting does not prevent a device connected to the
Ethernet port from accessing the management interface of
other SMs
in the network. To prevent this, use the IP
Access Filtering Enabled selection in the IP Access
Control parameter of the SMs in the network. See IP
Access Control below.
If you want to allow management access through the Ethernet
port, select Ethernet Access Enabled. This is the factory
default setting for this parameter.
IP Access Control You can permit access to the SM from any IP address (IP
Access Filtering Disabled) or limit it to access from only one,
two, or three IP addresses that you specify (IP Access Filtering
Enabled). If you select IP Access Filtering Enabled, then you
must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP
parameters or have no access permitted from any IP address
Allowed Source IP
1
to 3
If you selected IP Access Filtering Enabled for the IP Access
Control parameter, then you must populate at least one of the
three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access
permitted to the SM from any IP address. You may populate as
many as all three.
If you selected IP Access Filtering Disabled for the IP Access
Control parameter, then no entries in this parameter are read,
and access from all IP addresses is permitted.
A subnet mask may be defined for each entry to allow for
filtering control based on a range of IP addresses.
