326 Logical Partitions on System i5
Selecting Save Settings will then cause the network configuration changes to be made and
the service processor to be rebooted. As the service processor reboots, your ASMI session
will be dropped and you will have to reconnect your session to continue. When you reconnect
you will be using the new settings.

Network access
Using this option, you can display or change the IP addresses that are allowed access to the
service processor ethernet ports. You can specify a list of allowed IP addresses and a list of
denied IP addresses. An example is shown in Figure 10-75.
Figure 10-75 Change Network access IP addresses allowed and denied
Make any changes that you want based upon the following descriptions and select Save
Settings from the bottom of the panel shown in Figure 10-75. In this example we will be
allowing access for one IP address and denying access for one IP address. You will see a
confirmation panel appear, similar to Figure 10-76.
Allowed IP addresses
Enter up to 16 complete or partial IP addresses. A complete IP address contains all four
octets. A partial IP address has only 1, 2, or 3 octets, and must end in a period. If a login is
received from an IP address which matches a complete or partial IP address in the allowed
list, access to the service processor is granted.
Attention: If incorrect network configuration information is entered, you may not be
able to use the ASMI after the service processor reboots. To remedy this situation,
your hardware service provider may have to reset the service processor to the
default settings. This procedure will also reset all user IDs and passwords to their
default values.
