The Mobility 5181 Access Point Access screen also has a facility allowing customers to create a login
message with customer generated text. When enabled (using either the access point Web UI or
CLI), the login message displays when the user is logging into the access point. If the login message
is disabled, the default login screen displays with no message.
AP access can be restricted to specific IP addresses. Trusted Host subnet management restricts
LAN1, LAN2 and WAN interface access (via SNMP, HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet and/or SSH) to a set of (up
to 8) user defined trusted hosts or subnets. Only hosts with matching IP addresses can access the
access point. Enabling the feature denies access from any subnet (IP address) not defined as
trusted. Once a set of trusted hosts is defined and applied, the settings can be imported and
exported as a part of the access point’s configuration import/export functionality. For information
on defining trusted hosts for exclusive AP access, see
“Defining trusted hosts” on page 55.
To configure access for the Mobility 5181 Access Point:
1. Select System Configuration -> Mobility 5181 Access Point Access from the menu tree.
The Trusted Hosts field appears at the top of the screen, but the remainder of the screen can
be viewed by using the scroll bar on the right-hand side of the screen.
2. Select the Trusted Hosts checkbox to display a field where up to 8 IP addresses can be defined
for exclusive access to the AP. For more information, see “Defining trusted hosts” on page 55.
