A dialog will also warn you if you are deleting your current IP
address from the list when it is already enabled (after you have
cleared the usual confirmation dialog).
Unless you want to prevent management access to the Bridge
from your current IP address,
Cancel these changes.
The
Admin IP Access Control Whitelist is Disabled by default,
and no IP addresses are listed.
If the
Admin IP Access Control Whitelist is Enabled when there
are no IP addresses on the list, administrative access to the
Bridge will be possible only through a direct, physical
connection to the Bridge’s
Console port (refer to the CLI
Software Guide)
.
2.2.4 SNMP Administration
In the Bridge GUI Advanced View, the Fortress Bridge can be
configured for monitoring through Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3.
The Fortress Management Information Bases (MIBs) for the
Bridge are included on the Bridge CD-ROM.
When SNMP v3 support is enabled, the SNMP v3 user
(
FSGSnmpAdmin) access to the Bridge is authenticated via the
SHA-1 message hash algorithm as defined in RFC 2574,
User-
based Security Model (USM) for version 3 of the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMPv3)
, using the specified
authentication passphrase. SNMP v3 privacy is secured via the
Advanced Encryption Standard with a 128-bit key (AES-128),
using the specified privacy passphrase.
SNMP v3 support is disabled by default.
When SNMP traps are enabled, the SNMP daemon running on
the Bridge detects certain system events and sends notice of
their occurrence to a server running an SNMP management
application, the network management system (NMS), or trap
destination.
SNMP traps are disabled by default, and no SNMP trap
destinations are configured (refer to Section 2.2.4.2).
