Configuring Your Devices

Step 2 In the IP Permit window, create an IP address to be included within the IP address list. This list determines which management workstation is permitted or restricted from accessing this particular device.

Note IP addresses allow management workstations to access specific devices for configuration. You can add as many IP addresses to the IP address list as necessary.

Step 3 Click Create. The Row Creation dialog box appears.

Step 4 Enter the IP address and the IP mask and click OK. The new IP address is added to the IP address list.

Limit Device Access

Limit access privileges for other management workstations and monitor unauthorized attempts to access the device:

Step 1 From the IP Permit window, highlight the IP address to be deleted from the IP address list and click Delete. This disables that particular management workstation from accessing the device.

Step 2 To monitor unauthorized attempts to access the device, re-open the IP Permit window to view any access to the device.

Where You Should End Up---Verification

After you configure your device and limit access to the device by other management workstations, verify that there are no unauthorized workstations accessing the device:

Step 1 Go to the bottom of the window to view the Access Attempts from Invalid IP addresses box. This dialog box provides information about which management workstation recently attempted to access the device, the time and date of attempted access, and list of the invalid IP addresses that were deleted from the list.

Step 2 If a deleted IP address is still attempting to access the device, notify the owner of that particular management workstation regarding any recent changes made to the owner's security level.
