FILTERING IP
ADDRESSES FOR
MANAGEMENT ACCESS
Use the Access Management Configuration page to create a list of up to 16
IP addresses or IP address groups that are allowed management access to
the switch through the web interface, or SNMP, or Telnet.
The management interfaces are 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.
