18 MANAGEMENT ACCESS FILTER
You can create a list of up to eight IP addresses or IP address groups that
are allowed management access to the switch through the web interface.
USAGE GUIDELINES
◆ The web management interface is open to all IP addresses by default.
Once you add an entry to a filter list, access to that interface is
restricted to the specified addresses.
◆ If anyone tries to access a management interface on the switch from an
invalid address, the switch will reject the connection, enter an event
message in the system log.
◆ When entering addresses, the switch will not accept overlapping
address ranges.
◆ You cannot delete an individual address from a specified range. You
must delete the entire range, and reenter the addresses.
PARAMETERS
The following parameters are displayed on the Management Access Filter
page:
◆ IP Address — An IP address, or an address specifying a range, that is
allowed management access to the switch.
◆ IP Netmask — A mask that specifies a single IP address, or defines a
range of IP addresses. (Default: 255.255.255.255 for a single IP
address)
