Defining trusted hosts

Mobility 5181 Access Point

access can be restricted to up 8 specific IP addresses. Trusted Host

management restricts LAN1, LAN2 and WAN access (via SNMP, HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet and SSH). Only
hosts with IP addresses matching those defined within the Trusted Host Access field are able to
access the access point. Enabling the feature denies access from any subnet (IP address) not
defined as trusted.

To restrict AP access to a set of user defined IP addresses:

1. Select System Configuration ->

Mobility 5181 Access Point

Access from the menu tree.

2. Select the Trusted Hosts check box.

The Trusted Host Access field displays. The remaining portion of the Access screen (not related
to Trusted Host support) can be accessed using the scroll bar on the right-hand side of the
Mobility 5181 Access Point Access screen.

3. Click the Add button and define an IP address in the subsequent pop-up screen.

4. Individually define up to 8 addresses using the Add function. Each address defined will be

granted permission to access point resources.

5. Select an existing IP address and click the Edit button to modify the address if no longer

relevant.
