9. IP Binding specifies from which IP addresses HP SMH accepts requests and provides control
over which nets and subnets requests are processed.
Administrators can configure HP SMH to bind only to addresses specified in the IP Binding
page. You can define a maximum of five subnet IP addresses and netmasks.
An IP address on the server is bound if it matches one of the entered IP Binding addresses
after the mask is applied.
NOTE: HP SMH always binds to 127.0.0.1. If IP Binding is enabled and no subnet/mask
pairs are configured, then the HP SMH is available only to 127.0.0.1. If IP Binding is not
enabled, HP SMH binds to all addresses.
To configure IP binding:
1. Select IP Binding. The IP Binding page appears.
2. Enter the IP address.
3. Enter the netmask.
Note: The masking field is not required for IPv6 addresses.
4. Click Add. The IP binding configuration is saved and appears under the IP Binding List.
5. Click Next. The IP Restricted Login page appears.
