Each IP address and netmask must consist of four octets with values between 0 and 255 (the same for each
netmask).

Netmasks must start with the number 1 in the highest bit and continue with all number 1s until they switch
to all number 0s (for example, 255.255.0.0, 192.0.0.0, 255.192.0.0).

IP Restricted Login category

IP Restricted login enables HP SMH to restrict login access based on the

IP address of a system from which

the signin is attempted.

For Linux and Windows, you can set a restricted address at installation. From all operating systems,
administrators can set a restricted address from the IP Restricted login page. Note the following:

If an IP address is restricted, it is restricted even if it is also listed in the permitted box.

If IP addresses are in the permitted list, only those IP addresses can sign in, except for

localhost.

If no IP addresses are in the permitted list, sign in access is allowed to any IP addresses not in the
restricted list.

HP SMH on Windows and Linux supports IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
