NETGEAR 24-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports Model GS724TPv2
Together, the management station IP and the management station IP mask denote a
range of IP addresses from which SNMP clients can use that community to access this
device. If either the management station IP or management station IP mask value is
0.0.0.0, access is allowed from any IP address. Otherwise, every client’s address is
ANDed with the mask, as is the management station IP address. If the values are equal,
access is allowed. For example, if the management station IP address and management
station IP mask parameters are 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, any client with an IP address
from one 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.255 (inclusive) is allowed access. To allow
access from only one station, use a management station IP mask value of
255.255.255.255, and use that machine’s IP address for client address.
